Steps:
- Deglaze the pot by stirring in the red wine and use a wooden spoon to scrap any bits and flavor from the sides and bottom of the pot. Stir in the veggie broth, worchestire sauce, bay leaves, thyme, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer, cover, and cook for 30 minutes. Stir every few minutes.
- Pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees F. Brush or spray the slices of bread with oil or cooking spray and place on a baking sheet. Toast for 10 minutes, flipping halfway through. You want the bread to be lightly toasted. Once done, set aside.
- Season soup to taste with additional salt and pepper as needed. Ladle the soup into oven proof bowls, top with the toasted bread, and even sprinkle the cheese across the 4 bowls. Place the bowls on a large baking tray and broil in the oven until the cheese is melted and bubbling around the sides.**
- Serve immediately and ENJOY!

VEGETARIAN FRENCH ONION SOUP
Most French onion soup recipes call for beef stock, but substituting mushroom broth instead creates a surprisingly rich soup, full on flavor - without the meat. Could become a staple recipe in vegetarian or meat-loving households! A long cooking time and savory ingredients mean this soup is pretty darn rich. Add in the toasted baguette slices and all that gooey Gruyere... this soup is definitely the main course. Serve alongside a crisp, green salad.

VEGETARIAN STOUT FRENCH ONION SOUP
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!

VEGETARIAN FRENCH ONION SOUP
This recipe of French onion soup is vegetarian but the flavors are just as bold as the original. By caramelizing the onions, deglazing with white wine, and adding a bit of extra spice--you won't miss the meat. This recipe can also be made vegan with the absence of cheese or introducing a cheese alternative to the top.

Steps:
- Thinly slice onions into half-moon shapes.
- Add canola oil to a pot and place over medium heat (the pot I used holds 8 quarts--but a smaller sized would have worked as well).
- Stir the onions to coat them with the oil.
- Add salt, ground black pepper, and red pepper flakes.
- Stir occasionally for 20 minutes.
- Deglaze pan with white wine and cook for another 10 minutes.
- Add 1/4 cup of water at a time if onions begin to stick to the bottom of the pan too often to prevent burning.
- After cooking onions for a total of 30 minutes, add vegetable broth, Gravy Master, minced garlic, and bay leaves.
- Simmer over medium-low heat for 20 to 25 minutes.
- Serve with toasted, cheesy bread. Or not! Either way, I hope you enjoy.
