Low Fat French Onion Soup

Posted by Grandma Jeanne on April 4, 2011

A friend of mine gave me this recipe. She made it for a church dinner and got RAVE reviews. Everyone wanted the recipe!

4 large sweet onions, chopped
4 14.5-ounce cans of low fat beef broth
1/2 stick butter, margarine, or “I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter”
Parmesan cheese, finely grated
Mozzarella string cheese cut into 1/4 – 1/2″ slices
Croutons

Preheat pot.

Add butter and onions. Cook until soft and yellow.

Add broth and simmer all afternoon.

Sprinkle parmesan cheese over soup to taste while simmering.

Ladle into ovenware soup bowls.

Put croutons and a slice of mozzarella cheese on top.

Broil* in oven until cheese melts and browns slightly.

* If you don’t want to broil, just put the hot soup in bowls and add cheese and croutons. The cheese will melt by itself.

2 medium cloves garlic, minced
Fresh vegetables – your choice (I usually use carrots, zucchini, mushrooms, broccoli, and green beans.)
6 or more cups chicken or beef broth
1/2 can or more Rotels
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Put all ingredients in to a large soup pot. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer until vegetables are cooked.
