Best vegetarian onion soup recipe?
I went to a party this weekend and bought way to many onions for he BBQ. They are already sliced though and I don’t want them to go to waste. French onion is supposed to be good, but I’d prefer to do it vegetarian.

Caramelize those onions for a really long time. That’s the secret to great onion soup.
My friend makes it using this recipe. But you can also do a french onion soup with vegetable broth (instead of beef broth). If you want to do that, I would recommend this one.
Here’s the best one, Emily. I make it with all-veggie broth and it turns out great. The trick is to really carmelize the onions – let them turn soft and gooey and brown. Super easy and absolutely delicious. YUM!!
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter
6 onions (about 3 pounds), sliced
6 garlic cloves, sliced
1/2 cup dry white wine
3 cups canned low-salt chicken broth (or : 6 cups veggie broth instead of chicken/beef)
3 cups canned beef broth
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
4 sourdough bread slices, toasted
1 cup grated Swiss cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
Preparation
Melt butter in heavy large saucepan over medium heat. Add onions and garlic and sauté until very tender and brown, about 45 minutes. Add wine and simmer until reduced to glaze, about 3 minutes. Stir in chicken broth, beef broth and mustard (or: veggie broth and mustard). Simmer 20 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Refrigerate. Return soup to simmer before continuing.)
Preheat broiler. Ladle soup into broilerproof bowls. Top each with slice of toast and grated cheeses. Broil until cheeses melt and bubble.
I would say use a good French onion soup recipe, and replace the butter with olive oil, the beef broth with vegetable stock, and the cheese with a vegan cheese substitute.
