Comfort Food For An Upset Stomach: Vegan French Onion Soup {Recipe}
By admin
Look at me, two post in one day! I just couldn’t put off sharing this recipe, plus it’s fresh in my mind so I won’t forget anything!
Remember this morning when I said I had an upset stomach? It continued well into lunch, and I knew the best thing would be something simple and light.
I’ve been craving French onion soup for a few days now, so when it was time for lunch I decided to throw together a vegan version.
To be honest, I wasn’t sure how it would taste using vegetable broth instead of the traditional beef broth, but it turned out great!
To make it more filling and complete (without the cheese topping) I added some toasted ezekiel bread croutons.

Directions:
- Heat oil in small pot on med-high heat. Once heated, add in onions.
