Lightened-Up French Onion Soup with Gruyere Toasts
A comforting yet lightened-up version of the classic French Onion Soup, featuring slowly caramelized onions and tender lean beef cubes simmered in a savory low-sodium broth. Topped with a crispy whole wheat baguette slice and melted Gruyere cheese, each spoonful delivers a delightful blend of sweetness, umami, and rich toasted flavors.
INGREDIENTS
2 medium Yellow Onions (220g)
2 Garlic Cloves (6g)
1 tsp Unsalted Butter (5g)
4 oz Lean Beef Sirloin Cubes (113g)
2 cups Low Sodium Beef Broth (480g)
1 slice Whole Wheat Baguette (28g)
1 oz Gruyere Cheese (28g)
1/2 tsp Dried Thyme
1 Bay Leaf
PREPARATION
Slice the yellow onions thinly and mince the garlic cloves.
In a medium pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onions and a pinch of salt, then cook slowly, stirring frequently, until the onions turn deeply golden and are caramelized, about 20-25 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and dried thyme, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the lean beef sirloin cubes. Sauté until lightly browned on all sides, about 3-4 minutes.
Pour in the low sodium beef broth and add the bay leaf. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for about 10 minutes so the flavors meld together.
While the soup simmers, preheat the broiler. Arrange the whole wheat baguette slice on a baking sheet and top evenly with the Gruyere cheese.
Place the baguette under the broiler for 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly with a golden edge.
Remove the bay leaf from the soup. Ladle the hot soup into a bowl and serve with the Gruyere toasts on the side or placed on top.
Season to taste with salt and pepper, then enjoy your lightened-up French Onion Soup.
