INGREDIENTS
1 large Onion (150g)
1 tsp Olive Oil (for soup)
1 cup Low Sodium Vegetable Broth (240g)
2 sprigs Fresh Thyme
2 slices Whole Grain Bread
3 oz Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese
1 tsp Olive Oil (for sandwich)
2 tbsp Fresh Herbs (Parsley and Basil)
PREPARATION
Slice the large onion thinly. In a medium saucepan, heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil over medium-low heat.
Add the sliced onions and a couple of sprigs of fresh thyme. Sauté slowly, stirring occasionally, until the onions are deeply caramelized and golden (this may take 20-25 minutes).
Pour in the low sodium vegetable broth and let the soup simmer for another 5 minutes to meld the flavors. Remove the thyme sprigs and season with a pinch of salt if desired.
Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Brush one side of each bread slice with 1 teaspoon of olive oil and sprinkle with the finely chopped fresh herbs.
Place the cheese between the un-oiled sides of the bread to form a sandwich. Cook the sandwich in the preheated skillet, pressing gently, until the bread is toasted and the cheese begins to melt, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Ladle the warm caramelized onion soup into a bowl and serve alongside the herb-crusted grilled cheese sandwich. Enjoy while hot!
