This flavor-packed Vegetarian French Onion Soup is

This flavor-packed Vegetarian French Onion Soup is filling, comforting, and downright delicious without the beef broth. Ready in 45 minutes!

Vegetarian French Onion Soup
-5 medium yellow onions
-2 tablespoons unsalted butter
-¼ cup all-purpose flour
-½ teaspoon salt
-½ teaspoon black pepper
-½ cup Dry Vermouth
-4 cups vegetable broth
-¼ cup dried porcini mushrooms
-2 tablespoons soy sauce
-1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves (+ more for garnish)
-½ French baguette
-2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
-4 ounces Gouda or other cheese of choice (sliced or shredded)

-Peel, core, and slice your onions into ¼-inch thick strips. Dice your porcini mushrooms and remove the thyme leaves from their stems.
-Add the butter to a large pot or Dutch Oven over medium-high heat until melted and bubbling. -Add the onions and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring frequently, until the onions are tender and translucent.
-Add the flour, salt, and pepper and stir so that the onions are coated with the roux.
-Add the Dry Vermouth and stir, until the flour is mixed in and there are no lumps.
-Add the broth, diced porcini mushrooms, soy sauce, and thyme leaves. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure nothing sticks to the bottom of the pot.
-Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 400°F and slice the French baguette, to make pieces about 1 inch thick. Brush both sides with olive oil and line the bread up on a baking sheet. Toast in the oven on the bottom rack for 8-10 minutes until crispy and golden brown.
-Remove soup from heat and ladle into oven-safe individual soup bowls. Top each serving with the toasted bread and add a generous amount of cheese on top.
-Place individual servings on your baking sheet, and place it back in the oven, this time on the top rack, for about 5 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Garnish with extra thyme and serve hot with extra toasted bread. Enjoy! #frenchonionsoup #vegetariansoup #homemadesoup

These Tofu Fajitas with Onions and Peppers are bur

These Tofu Fajitas with Onions and Peppers are bursting with flavor, and satisfying texture, making them the perfect family-friendly meatless meal that only requires one pan and 30 minutes!
Tofu Fajitas with Onions and Peppers
-14 ounces extra-firm tofu
-1 large yellow onion
-1 large green pepper
-1 large red pepper
-4 tablespoons olive oil
-2 teaspoons cornstarch
-3 tablespoons fajita or taco seasoning

-Drain and press your tofu, either with a tofu press or by wrapping it in a clean kitchen towel and stacking something heavy on top for about ten minutes.
-Meanwhile, prep your onion by cutting around the bulb and peeling. Prep your peppers by cutting around the stem and removing seeds. Slice your onion and peppers into strips about 1/2 inch wide.
-Add onions, peppers, and 2 tablespoons olive oil to an extra-large nonstick or high-quality cast iron pan and fry over medium heat until fragrant and onions are translucent (about 10 minutes).
-Once your tofu is pressed, cut it into thin strips, about 1/2 inch thick. Add the tofu strips to a large mixing bowl with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and the cornstarch. Toss to coat.
-Once your onions are translucent, push the peppers and onions to the outer edges of the pan, leaving space in the middle for the tofu.* Place the tofu strips directly on the pan, keeping your burner at medium heat.
-Allow the tofu, peppers, and onions to cook for another 5-8 minutes. When the tofu is ready to flip, it will easily release from the pan and reveal a crispy, golden-brown crust. If you cannot get your spatula under your tofu to flip, continue to cook until the tofu releases.
-Once flipped, continue to cook for another 5-8 minutes until the tofu once again releases from the pan on the second side.
-Add your seasoning and toss. If your tofu and veggies seem dry, add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, continuing to toss until the tofu, onion, and peppers are coated in seasoning.
Serve hot either with tortillas, over rice, and with whatever toppings you please!

Serving Ideas
lime juice or wedges, guac or avocado, tomato, diced red or white onion, fresh cilantro, cheese or queso, sour cream, etc!
