Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Yellow onions
- 6 large Garlic cloves
- 2 teaspoons Olive oil
- 4 cups Low-sodium vegetable broth
- 4 sprigs Fresh thyme
- 1 unit Bay leaf
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk (or any low-fat milk alternative)
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Peel and cut the yellow onions into quarters. Peel the garlic cloves, keeping them whole.
Place the onions and garlic on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle with 2 teaspoons of olive oil and toss to coat evenly.
Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the onions and garlic are golden and caramelized. Turn them halfway through the roasting time for even cooking.
In a large pot, combine roasted onions, roasted garlic, vegetable broth, thyme sprigs, and the bay leaf.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Remove the thyme sprigs and bay leaf from the pot. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth, or carefully transfer to a blender in batches and blend until smooth.
Stir in the unsweetened almond milk. Heat the soup on low if needed, but do not bring it to a boil.
Taste and season with salt and black pepper as needed.
Serve hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley if desired. Pair with a slice of whole-grain bread for a complete, light meal.
