French Onion Soup For the Vegetarians - My take

Facebook can be quite a pain, especially when you have friends sharing yummy dishes and leaves you with a craving for a dish... hmmm then all you need to do is make it the way you want to and satisfy your palate!

Here is my recipe to make French Onion Soup for the vegetarians :)

Serves - 2

Ingredients:
Onion - 2 Medium
White unsalted butter - 1 tbsp
Olive oil - 1 tsp
Water 4 Cups
Bay Leaves - 1 medium
Corn Flour - 2 Tsp
Black Pepper - 1 Tsp (Powdered)
Red Chili Flakes - 1 Tsp
Salt - To Taste
Cheese Slice - 1 (Preferable Low Fat)

Cut the Onion into two halves and then cut thin slices of them.
Heat the Olive oil in a pan and add the Onions to them along with the red chili flakes and a little while butter and allow it to caramelise.
In another vessel, add the water and corn flour and mix it well. Ensure no lumps are there. Now add the black pepper, salt, white butter and bay leaf and bring the broth to a boil. Taste it to see if the flavour of Bay leaves is there in the broth. You can add a little Thyme leaves as well, if its available. Bring the broth to a simmer, add the onions and the cheese slice and allow the soup to boil for couple of minutes, till the cheese melts.

Serve hot the yummy French Onion soup my ishtyle :)
