Ingredients
  

Light Onion Soup

  • 2 teaspoons light olive oil
  • 2 cups onion diced
  • 3/4 Cup white wine
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons dried thyme leaves
  • 2 to 3 bay leaf
  • 5 cups chicken stock
  • Salt
  • 4 slices Whole-Wheat Toast cut to fit the serving ovenproof bowls
  • 1/2 Cup low-fat mozzarella cheese finely grated

Instructions
 

  • In a large pot over medium-low heat, sauté the onions in olive oil until they become translucent, their edges turning a dark caramel color. This will take around 20 minutes; don’t even think of speeding up the process by turning the heat up. Doing so will only burn the onions, and you’ll have to start all over again.
  • Add the white wine, thyme, bay leaves, and chicken broth. Turn up the heat to bring the soup to a boil. Once the soup is boiling vigorously, turn down the heat to low and let it simmer continuously for 20 minutes. Season to your liking.

  • Place the bowls under the broiler for 5 to 8 minutes, until the cheese is melted. Serve immediately.
