Caramelized Onion and Shiitake Soup With Gruyere-Blue Cheese image

From The Best of Cooking Light, March 2009. "Earthy shiitake mushrooms and pungent cheese toasts give this soup more heartiness than classic French onion soup. For a light main course option, pair with a simple green salad."

Time 2h15m

Yield 6 bowls, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 tablespoon olive oil
8 cups sliced yellow onions (about 2 lbs)
5 cups sliced shiitake mushroom caps (about 10 oz whole mushrooms)
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 fresh thyme sprigs
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 (14 ounce) can reduced-sodium fat-free chicken broth
1 (14 ounce) can fat-free less-sodium beef broth
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
12 slices French baguettes, cut 1/2 in thick toasted
1/4 cup grated gruyere cheese
1/4 cup crumbled gorgonzola
1/2 teaspoon finely chopped fresh thyme

Steps:

  • SOUP: Heat oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion and sauté 15 minutes or until almost tender, stirring frequently. Reduce heat and cook 40 minutes or until onions are a deep golden brown. Stir occasionally.
  • Increase heat to medium, add mushrooms, and cook 10 minutes or until they are tender. Stir frequently. Stir in garlic and thyme sprigs and cook for 2 minutes. Increase heat to medium-high and add wine to pan. Cook 2 minutes or until most of the liquid has evaporated. Add both cans of broth to pan and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat and simmer 45 minutes. Stir in salt & pepper and discard thyme sprigs.
  • TOASTS: Preheat broiler. Arrange bread in a single layer on a baking sheet. Top each piece with 1 tsp Gruyère and 1 tsp Gorgonzola. Broil 2 minutes or until cheese has melted. Sprinkle a little chopped thyme over each piece of toast.
  • TO SERVE: Ladle about 1 cup of soup into each of 6 bowls and top each serving with 2 pieces of toast.
