1. | In a large pot, heat the olive oil and vegan butter over medium-high heat until the butter is melted. |
2. | Add the thinly sliced onions and stir to coat them with the oil and butter. Cook the onions, stirring occasionally, for about 30-40 minutes or until they are caramelized and golden brown. |
3. | Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes. |
4. | Add the brown sugar and flour to the pot and stir until the flour is evenly distributed. |
5. | Pour in the vegetable broth and red wine (if using) and stir well to combine. Bring the soup to a simmer and let it cook for about 30 minutes. |
6. | Add the dried thyme and season the soup with salt and pepper to taste. |
7. | Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the sliced baguette on a baking sheet and bake for about 5-10 minutes or until the slices are toasted and crispy. |
8. | Ladle the soup into bowls and place a slice of toasted baguette on top of each bowl. Add vegan cheese on top of the bread if desired. |
9. | Place the bowls under the broiler for a few minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly. |
10. | Serve the soup hot and enjoy! |
Tips:
- Make sure to slice the onions thinly and evenly so they caramelize properly.
- Use a good quality vegetable broth to give the soup a rich and flavorful base.
- The red wine is optional, but it adds a nice depth of flavor to the soup.
- If you don't have vegan cheese, you can use nutritional yeast or leave it out altogether.
- For a gluten-free version, use a gluten-free flour to thicken the soup and serve with gluten-free bread.
