Any good recipes for a low sodium French Onion Soup?

Answer 1

1 cup sherry or dry white wine
4 large yellow onions, thinly sliced into circles
8 to 10 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 tablespoon whole wheat or unbleached white pastry flour
4 cups veggie broth
.5 teaspoon black pepper
Salt or low sodium soy sauce to taste
6 slices french bread, toasted

In a large heavy stockpot, heat wine until bubbling. Add
the onions and reduce heat to medium. Cook onions slowly,
stirring frequently, for at least 20 minutes, until they become
pastelike. (If you cook the onions too quickly, they'll taste
bitter).

Add garlic and continue to cook 5 to 10 minutes until garlic
begins to look brown. Add flour, stir well, and cook 2 minutes.
Add stock and bring to a boil.

Reduce heat and simmer 20 minutes. Season with pepper and salt or soy sauce.

Answer 6

HEARTY FRENCH ONION SOUP

4 tbsp. butter
5 med. size yellow onions, very thinly sliced
1/8 tsp. sugar
2 tbsp. flour
5 c. low-sodium beef broth
1/2 tsp. dried thyme, crumbled
1 bay leaf
1/4 tsp. black pepper
8 slices toasted French bread, each about 1/2 inch thick
1 c. grated Swiss or Gruyere cheese
1/4 c. grated Parmesan cheese

1. In a large, heavy saucepan melt butter over moderate heat; add the onions and cook, uncovered, carefully stirring until golden--10 to 15 minutes. Blend in sugar and flour; cook, stirring, 3 minutes longer.

3. Add broth, thyme, bay leaf and pepper; raise heat to moderately high and bring to a boil, stirring constantly--about 6 minutes. Adjust heat so mixture bubbles gently and simmer, partly covered, for 30 minutes. Remove and discard bay leaf.

3. Heat broiler.

4. Ladle soup into 4 flameproof bowls. Float 2 pieces of bread in each soup bowl.
