Lightened-Up French Onion Soup with Herb-Crusted Sourdough
Enjoy a reimagined French Onion Soup that balances the sweet, caramelized flavors of slowly simmered onions with the fresh aroma of herbs. Topped with a perfectly poached egg and melty reduced-fat Swiss cheese, all served alongside a crunchy herb-crusted sourdough slice, this dish offers a delightful blend of textures and flavors while keeping it light and nourishing.
INGREDIENTS
2 medium Yellow Onions
1 tsp Olive Oil
2 cloves Garlic
2 cups Low-Sodium Beef Broth
2 oz Reduced-Fat Swiss Cheese (shredded)
1 slice Sourdough Bread
1 large Egg
3 sprigs Fresh Thyme
1 Bay Leaf
1/2 tsp Dried Oregano
PREPARATION
Thinly slice the onions and mince the garlic. In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat and add the onions. Sauté until they start to caramelize, stirring frequently, about 15-20 minutes.
Add the minced garlic, bay leaf, dried oregano, and fresh thyme sprigs to the onions. Continue cooking for an additional 2 minutes.
Pour in the low-sodium beef broth and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Lower the heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Remove the bay leaf and herb sprigs before serving.
While the soup simmers, toast the slice of sourdough bread. Brush lightly with a tiny bit of olive oil and sprinkle extra dried oregano or thyme for an herb-crusted finish. Toast until crisp.
Optionally, poach the egg separately until the whites are set but the yolk remains runny.
Ladle the hot soup into a bowl, top with shredded reduced-fat Swiss cheese, and gently place the poached egg on top, or serve the egg on the side if preferred.
Serve the soup with the herb-crusted sourdough on the side and enjoy your flavorful, lightened-up French Onion Soup.
