Vegan French Onion Soup

 "Ingredients:

- 5 large yellow onions

- 3 cloves garlic

- 4 tablespoons vegan butter

- 2 tablespoons olive oil

- 1 teaspoon salt

- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

- 1 teaspoon sugar

- 3 tablespoons flour

- 1/2 cup red wine

- 8 cups vegetable broth

- 2 bay leaves

- 2 sprigs of fresh thyme

- 1 French baguette

- Vegan cheese for topping

Instructions:

1. Slice the onions and garlic thinly. Heat the vegan butter and olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onions, garlic, salt, pepper, and sugar. Cook for about 30 minutes, stirring frequently, until the onions are caramelized.

2. Sprinkle the flour over the onions and stir to coat. Cook for another 2-3 minutes.

3. Add the red wine to the pot and stir well, scraping the bottom of the pot to deglaze. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the wine has reduced slightly.

4. Add the vegetable broth, bay leaves, and thyme to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 30 minutes.

5. While the soup is simmering, slice the baguette and toast the slices in the oven until they are crispy.

6. Remove the bay leaves and thyme from the soup. Ladle the soup into oven-safe bowls, top each bowl with a slice of toasted baguette and some vegan cheese.

7. Place the bowls of soup on a baking sheet and broil in the oven until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Serve hot.
