Vegetarian Stout French Onion Soup image

I love Irish stout stew and French onion soup. Plus my wife is a vegetarian. So I came up with this infusion that is, in my opinion, amazing! Portobello mushrooms replace cubed beef, and it is all topped off with a Swiss cheese-crusted slice of artisan bread, French onion-soup style. Serve with a frosty stout and enjoy! Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Time 1h30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 portobello mushroom caps, cubed
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 potatoes, cubed
2 carrots, sliced
1 onion, sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
4 sprigs fresh rosemary
20 fluid ounces stout beer
1 ½ cups vegetable broth
½ (6 ounce) can tomato paste
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 ½ teaspoons cold water
1 ½ teaspoons cornstarch
4 slices French bread
½ cup shredded Swiss cheese

Steps:

  • Toss mushrooms and flour together in a bowl until coated.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir coated mushrooms until browned, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Combine potatoes, carrots, onion, garlic, and rosemary in a large stockpot; top with cooked mushrooms. Stir beer, vegetable broth, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper into vegetable mixture. Cover stockpot and cook over medium-high heat until vegetables are tender and soup flavors have blended, about 1 hour.
  • Whisk water and cornstarch together in a bowl until dissolved; stir into soup until thickened, about 3 minutes.
  • Set oven rack about 5 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
  • Arrange bread slices on a baking sheet and sprinkle Swiss cheese over each slice.
  • Broil bread in the preheated oven until cheese is melted and golden, about 1 minute.
  • Ladle soup into bowls using a slotted ladle; top each with a bread slice. Ladle broth over bread until saturated.

This soup was just okay. The flavor was a bit bland and the texture was a bit too thick. I probably won't be making this soup again.
