LOW FAT FRENCH ONION SOUP











HI! I TRIED OUT A LOVELY LOW FAT RECIPE FOR FRENCH ONION SOUP LAST NIGHT.I NEVER IMAGINED IT WOULD BE THIS EASY AND YET SO TASTY.THE SOUP HAD A DELICIOUS FLAVOR OF CARAMELIZED ONIONS AND A HINT OF THYME.WE TOPPED IT WITH A PPIECE OF WHOLEWHEAT BREAD BAKED WITH GRATED GOUDA CHEESE.....THAT WAS OUR STARTER .......IM PUTTIN G DOWN THE RECIPE..DO CHECK FOR SALT!!

LOW FAT FRENCH ONION SOUP

1) 4 ONIONS SLICED
2)1.5 TSP BUTTER PLUS A LIITLE OLIVE OIL OR CANOLA SPRAY
3)3 TABLESPOONS WHITE WINE
4)A SPRIG OR TWO OF FRESH THYME OR DRY(ITS)
5)4 LARGE CUPS CHICKEN STOCK(I MADE THIS WITH THE STOCK CUBE)
6)SALT AND PEPPER
7)A PIECE OD WHOLEWHEAT TOAST BAKED IN OVEN WITH GRATED GOUDA CHEESE TILL IT BROWN SLIGHTLY.
801 TSP FINELY CHOPPED GARLIC/1 TSP GARLIC PASTE

METHOD

1)TAKE A HEAVY BOTTOMED PAN
2)ADD BUTTER AND OLIVE OIL OR SPRAY
3)WHEN WARM,ADD ONIONS AND GARLIC
4)NOW THE IDEA IS TO KEEP COOKING THESE ONIONS ON A SLOW FLAME.THEY SHOULD CARAMELIZE IN ABOUT 20 MINS.
5)AFTER ADDING THESE ONIONS,COOK ON LOW FOR 10 MINUTES.NOW ADD WINE
6)ONCE THE ONIONS ARE NICELY CARAMELIZED,ADD THE STOCK ADD LET IT COME TO A BOIL.
7)TASTE AND SEASON WITH SALT AND PEPPER
8)PUT WHOLEWHEAT BREAD IN TOASTER AND TOAST.NOW ADD GRATED CHEESE AND LET IT MELT TILL SLIGHTLY BROWN IN OVEN.
9)ADD SOUP TO SOUP BOWL WITH A GOOD AMOUNT OF ONIONS.TOP WITH TOAST AND SERVE
