Vegetarian Onion Soup

 

7 cups vegetable broth

1/4 cup plum vinegar

2 cloves garlic

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 ounce fried shiitake mushrooms or 4 ounces fresh

1 large red onion, thinly sliced

1 tablespoon miso

Whole-wheat croutons

Soy Parmesan

 

Bring first four ingredients to a boil in a saucepan. Meanwhile, rinse

dried mushrooms very well to remove grit. Add mushrooms to pan, reduce

heat, cover, and simmer 15-20 minutes or until garlic and mushrooms

are very soft. Process garlic and mushrooms and a cup or two of broth

in a blender until very smooth. Return to pot. Add onion and simmer

until onion is tender. Stir miso with a little water in a cup. Stir

into soup and remove from heat. Top with a few croutons and a

sprinkling of soy Parmesan.
