Healthy French Onion Soup
Enjoy a lighter twist on the classic French onion soup. Caramelized onions meld with a savory low-sodium beef broth, enhanced by a hint of thyme and garlic, while lean sirloin adds a robust protein boost. A crisp whole-grain bread slice topped with low-fat Swiss cheese not only lends texture but also brings a satisfying melty finish. A balanced bowl that warms you up without weighing you down.
INGREDIENTS
1 medium Yellow Onion (110g)
1 teaspoon Olive Oil (5g)
1 Garlic Clove (3g)
3 ounces Lean Sirloin Steak (85g)
2 cups Low-Sodium Beef Broth (480g)
1 slice Whole Grain Bread (40g)
1 ounce Low-Fat Swiss Cheese (28g)
2 sprigs Fresh Thyme
1 Bay Leaf
PREPARATION
Thinly slice the onion and finely chop the garlic.
In a medium pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat and add the onions. Sauté until they become soft and begin to brown, about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stir in the garlic, thyme sprigs, and bay leaf; cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Add the low-sodium beef broth to the pot and bring it to a simmer. Let it cook for 5 minutes to blend the flavors.
While the broth simmers, thinly slice the lean sirloin into bite-sized strips. In a separate pan, quickly sear the beef over high heat until just browned, about 2-3 minutes. This helps lock in the juices.
Add the seared beef to the simmering soup and cook for another 3 minutes to warm through.
Ladle the soup into oven-safe bowls. Place a slice of whole grain bread on top of each bowl and lay the low-fat Swiss cheese over the bread.
Place the bowls under a broiler for 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and lightly bubbly. Keep a close watch to avoid over-browning.
Carefully remove the bowls from the broiler, discard the thyme sprigs and bay leaf, and serve your healthy French onion soup warm.
