French Onion Soup

Unfortunately, a lot of restaraunts make this soup with beef stock, so I don't get to enjoy french onion very often. This is my vegetarian version that is guaranteed to taste just as good as the restaraunt version, if not BETTER! It's super tasty, easy, and cheap to make!

Ingredients:
Yellow onion (sliced)
Olive oil
Salt & pepper
Vegetable stock
Soy sauce
Garlic croutons
Mild white cheese (I used Meunster, but Swiss and Provalone are good choices too!)

Slice the onions and cook over medium heat in olive oil for about 3-4 minutes. Add desired amount of salt and pepepr and continue to sautee for another minute. Add the veggie stock and turn the tempurature to high. Bring to a boil. Add a couple tablespoons of soy sauce. It adds a lot of flavor to the soup! Continue to boil until the stock has reduced by a third. Turn your oven on broil and let it get nice and hot while you're waiting for the soup to reduce. Ladel soup into a ceramic bowl or cup. Top with desired amount of croutons. Then top the croutons with a slice of cheese. I like to tuck the conrners of the cheese in so the edges don't burn. Put the soup in the oven and watch closely. It usually takes only about 1 1/2 - 3 minutes before the cheese is nice and melted and slighly crispy. Remove VERY cafefully, it will be EXTREMELY hot!!! Let cool for about 5 minutes, then enjoy!!!
