Lightened-Up French Onion Soup with Herb-Crusted Sourdough
Enjoy a refined twist on classic French onion soup featuring deeply caramelized onions simmered in a savory low-sodium broth, enriched with tender shredded chicken for an extra protein boost. This lightened-up version is topped with a crisp, herb-crusted sourdough slice layered with a modest layer of melted low-fat cheese, offering a comforting balance of tangy, savory, and aromatic notes in every spoonful.
INGREDIENTS
1 large Yellow Onion (150g)
2 cups Low-Sodium Vegetable Broth
1 slice Sourdough Bread (40g)
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1/8 cup Low-Fat Gruyere Cheese (30g)
3 ounces Chicken Breast (cooked, shredded)
2 tablespoons Fresh Herbs (Thyme, Parsley)
1 garlic clove
PREPARATION
Thinly slice the yellow onion and mince the garlic. In a medium pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the onions and garlic to the pot, cooking slowly until they are deeply caramelized, about 15-20 minutes.
Pour in the low-sodium vegetable broth and bring to a simmer. Stir in the shredded chicken breast and let it warm through for about 5 minutes.
Preheat your oven broiler. Meanwhile, brush the sourdough bread slice lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with finely minced fresh herbs.
Place the bread under the broiler for 2-3 minutes until the edges become crispy. Remove the bread and top it with the low-fat Gruyere cheese.
Return the cheese-topped bread to the broiler for an additional 1-2 minutes until the cheese melts slightly.
Ladle the hot soup into a bowl and serve with the herb-crusted cheesy sourdough on the side or floated on top.
Enjoy your balanced, protein-rich, and low-calorie French onion soup creation!
