A heartwarming twist on a classic French onion soup, this lightened-up version features sweet caramelized onions simmered in a savory low-sodium broth and enhanced with shredded lean chicken breast. Topped with a crisp, whole grain toast crowned with melted Gruyere, this dish offers a delightful balance of flavors – rich and comforting with a modern, lighter touch.
INGREDIENTS
2 medium Yellow Onions
1 cup Low-Sodium Beef Broth
3 ounces Lean Chicken Breast (grilled and shredded)
1 slice Whole Grain Bread
0.5 ounce Gruyere Cheese
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
2 sprigs Fresh Thyme
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Slice the yellow onions thinly. In a medium pot, heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil over medium heat.
Add the onions and a couple of sprigs of thyme. Sauté slowly until they begin to caramelize, about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
Pour in the low-sodium beef broth and bring to a gentle simmer. Let the flavors meld together for 10 minutes, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
While the soup simmers, grill the lean chicken breast until fully cooked, then shred it into bite-sized pieces. Stir the shredded chicken into the soup to warm through.
Preheat your oven or toaster oven to broil. Place the whole grain bread slice on a baking sheet and sprinkle the shredded Gruyere cheese evenly over the top.
Broil the bread until the cheese is melted and bubbly with a golden edge, about 2-3 minutes. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
Ladle the hot soup into a bowl and top with the Gruyere toast. Serve immediately and enjoy the comforting, light flavor with a burst of cheesy crunch.
