INGREDIENTS
1 large Yellow Onion (~150g)
3 ounces Lean Ground Beef (~85g)
2 cups Beef Broth (Low Sodium) (~480g)
1 teaspoon Olive Oil (~5g)
1 slice Whole Grain Bread (~30g)
1 ounce Cheddar Cheese (~28g)
1 sprig Fresh Thyme
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Slice the yellow onion thinly. In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat and add the onions. Cook slowly, stirring occasionally, until they turn deeply golden and caramelized, about 15-20 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a separate pan, crumble and add the lean ground beef. Sauté over medium heat until it is fully browned and any excess moisture has evaporated. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
Once the onions are caramelized, add the beef broth to the saucepan and stir in the fresh thyme. Bring to a gentle simmer and let the flavors meld together for about 5 minutes. Remove the thyme sprig after simmering.
Add the cooked ground beef to the broth and stir well. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
For the toast, place the whole grain bread slice on a toaster or under a broiler until it is lightly crisp. Top the toast with the cheddar cheese and, if desired, return it briefly to the broiler until the cheese softens and just starts to melt.
Ladle the hot soup into a serving bowl and serve alongside the crispy cheesy whole grain toast. Enjoy your silky, savory soup as a comforting meal.
