A crispy whole-grain crostini topped with melted Gruyere cheese brings a delightful crunch and savory finish, perfect for a balanced meal at any time of the day.
INGREDIENTS
1 large onion (150g)
2 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
3 ounces grilled chicken breast, shredded
1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
1 slice whole-grain bread
1 ounce Gruyere cheese
1 garlic clove
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
Salt and black pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Thinly slice the large onion and mince the garlic clove.
In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and garlic, sprinkling in the dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Sauté until the onions become soft and begin to caramelize, about 10-12 minutes.
Pour in the low-sodium vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Add the shredded grilled chicken breast and let the soup cook for another 5 minutes for the flavors to meld.
While the soup simmers, preheat your broiler. Place the whole-grain bread slice on a baking sheet and toast it under the broiler for 1-2 minutes until lightly crisp.
Top the toasted bread with the Gruyere cheese and return it to the broiler for an additional 1-2 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Ladle the hot soup into a bowl and serve with the Gruyere-topped crostini on the side. Enjoy your light yet satisfying meal!
