Lightened-Up French Onion Soup with Gruyere Toasts
Savor a comforting bowl of French Onion Soup reimagined in a lighter way. Caramelized onions simmer in a savory chicken broth enhanced with garlic and thyme, with a boost of lean chicken breast for extra protein. Topped with a crispy whole wheat toast crowned with melty Gruyere cheese, every spoonful promises a delightful balance of rich, tangy flavors and satisfying textures.
INGREDIENTS
2 medium Yellow Onions (~220g)
3 oz shredded Chicken Breast (~85g)
2 cups Low-Sodium Chicken Broth (~480g)
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 slice Whole Wheat Bread (30g)
1 oz Gruyere Cheese (28g)
1 clove Garlic
1/2 tsp Dried Thyme
Salt & Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Thinly slice the onions and mince the garlic.
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic, and cook until they are soft and begin to caramelize, about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the shredded chicken breast to the pot and stir for 2 minutes to combine flavors.
Pour in the low-sodium chicken broth and add dried thyme. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat and let it cook for another 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
While the soup simmers, preheat the broiler. Place the whole wheat bread on a baking sheet and toast until lightly crisp.
Top the toasted bread with slices of Gruyere cheese and place under the broiler briefly until the cheese is melted and bubbly, being careful not to burn.
Ladle the hot soup into bowls and serve with a Gruyere toast on top or on the side.
Enjoy your lightened-up French Onion Soup that perfectly balances a hearty flavor with a lighter twist.
