Thermomix Vegan French Onion Soup | Gentle Chef NDE p120| Tried & Good
  1. Slice the onions: Add onions to mixing bowl. Slice: 5 sec / Speed 4. Scrape down if needed.

  2. Caramelize the onions: Add olive oil and sugar. (Sugar is important for the maillard reaction so don’t skip it.) Cook (slow caramelization): 25–30 min / 120°C / Reverse / Speed Soft. (Reverse and soft speed protects the onions.). Leave measuring cup off to allow moisture to evaporate. (Important for caramelization). Stir halfway through if needed. You want deep golden-brown onions, not just soft. If onions still look pale, continue 5–10 min more at same settings.

  3. Add flour (thickening base): Add flour. Cook: 1 min / 120°C / Reverse / Speed Soft.

  4. Deglaze & build the soup: Add wine or sherry, bay leaf, thyme, stock. Cook: 10 min / 100°C / Reverse / Speed Soft.

  5. Simmer: Reduce to gentle simmer. Simmer: 20 min / 98°C / Reverse / Speed Soft. Taste and season with salt and black pepper.

  6. While soup simmers: Toast baguette slices at 325°F (160°C) for 10 min, until lightly crisp. Prepare vegan Gruyère Melt if making from scratch.

  7. Assembly & Broiling: Remove bay leaf from soup. Ladle soup into oven-safe bowls. Place toasted bread on top. Spread generously with Gruyère Melt. Place bowls on baking sheet. Broil until bubbly and lightly browned (2–5 min). Serve immediately.

  8. This soup improves overnight so good for making ahead.
