I’ve tried to recreate French Onion soup at home to make it a healthier winter staple. The actual soup itself is not very high in calories at all! The key to a good batch in my opinion is patience and butter. I’ve tried to substitute the butter, but you need it to caramelize the onions and get them to taste delicious. I like to use Rich & Creamy Melt organic butter alternative which is also vegan, non-GMO and soy free.
