Prepare the ingredients
01
Cook garlic
02
Add olive oil to a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan. Now add the salt, cumin and garlic. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until fragrant and lightly toasted.
Caramelise onions
03
Turn down the heat to low-medium and cook for around 40-45 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes or so, until the onions are lightly browned and translucent.
Flavor the soup
04
Add balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, 1/2 cup vegetable stock, flour and lemon juice. Stir for around 5 minutes, until the mixture starts to thicken.
Simmer
05
Pour in the rest of the vegetable stock together with the bay and sage leafs and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes.
Add vegan cheese & bread
06
Divide around 3/4 of the soup between oven-safe soup bowls or large ramekins. Add two small baguette slices to each bowl, before adding the rest of the soup. Sprinkle vegan cheese on top.
Bake and serve
05
Place in the oven for 5-7 minutes, until the cheese melts and browns slightly. Serve and enjoy the soupy deliciousness!
