French Onion Soup

Add to favorites
Plan Z Phase: This is a Z2 (ZReduction) recipe.
Servings: Serves 4
Each serving is 1-1/2 cups
Ingredients:
- 2 medium onions, sliced thinly. I used my mandolin to slice.
- 1 spray of olive oil
- 4 cups of organic beef broth
- 1 cup of organic chicken broth
- 1 Tbl of Worcestershire sauce
- a sprinkle of nutmeg
- pepper to taste
- 3 Melba toast rounds
Instructions:
Spray your soup pot with a teeny bit of olive oil spray. Add onions and sauté on medium until they are translucent. Stir often. This will take about 7 minutes. They will begin to get golden.
Add the broths, Worcestershire sauce, nutmeg and some pepper and raise the heat to high.
Bring it to a low boil and turn back to medium and simmer for 3 minutes, just to heat it through completely.
When ready to serve put the soup in your bowl. Float the Melba toast rounds on top. You can dunk them around so they get mushy.
This will taste pretty darn official!
Enjoy!
Cheers,

The Berghoff is a famous Chicago restaurant. Their creamed spinach is an institution in itself. This is my ZReduction version.

I made this soup yesterday and it was amazing even without the cheese! I am just curious though to how much of it I can have at a sitting esp. if it’s my main course like for lunch?
Hi anjul97,
So glad you liked the soup! A portion for ZReduction would be between a cup and a cup and a half (it would count as your veggie portion). You can still have up to 6 oz of protein, unlimited salad greens, your fruit serving and your breadsticks with this meal. Technically, you could have a little more soup since it is just broth and onions, but many commercial beef and chicken stocks have a lot of sodium and other preservatives in them which have been known to stall folks with sensitive systems. You’d be better of having a single portion of soup at lunch and then again at dinner rather than having a super portion at one meal. Does that make sense?
