Description
This low FODMAP French onion soup is so good you’ll forget it’s low FODMAP!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup ghee
- 1 cup yellow onion, chopped
- 2 cups leeks – green part only, thinly sliced
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 6 cups low FODMAP beef broth
- 1 tsp Worchestershire sauce
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp dried thyme
- 6 slices low FODMAP crusty bread, cubed
- 2 tbsp low FODMAP garlic-infused oil
- 1 tsp dried basil
- pinch salt
- 1.5 cup Swiss cheese, shredded
Instructions
- Melt the ghee in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the onions and cook for 15-20 minutes, sturring occasionally. Once the onions are tender, strain the ghee directly into your slow cooker using a fine-mesh sieve double lined with cheesecloth.
- Add the leeks, wine, beef broth, Worchestershire sauce, salt and thyme to the slow cooker and cook on low for 4.5 hours.
- Once the soup is cooked, preheat your broiler on high for 5-10 minutes. Combine the garlic-infused oil and basil in a small bowl and brush it generously onto your bread cubes. Broil the bread until the edges are golden brown and crunchy (about 3 – 5 minutes)
- Ladle your soup into 4 oven-safe bowls. Top each bowl with bread and Swiss cheese. Place the bowls in the oven and broil them until the cheese has melted (about 2-4 minutes). Serve immediately.
