Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Yellow onions
- 3 Garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 5 cups Vegetable broth
- 1 cup Coconut milk
- 3 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon Thyme
- 1 Bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Peel and thinly slice the onions. Mince the garlic cloves.
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally until they are tender and golden brown. Be careful not to burn them.
Add the minced garlic to the pot and cook for another 2 minutes until fragrant.
Pour in the vegetable broth and coconut milk. Stir in the nutritional yeast, thyme, bay leaf, salt, and ground black pepper.
Bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer gently for about 25 minutes.
Remove the bay leaf from the soup. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, carefully transfer the soup to a blender in batches, blend until smooth, and return it to the pot.
Stir in the lemon juice and taste for seasoning, adjusting salt and pepper if needed.
Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley. Enjoy your creamy and comforting vegan onion soup!
