Nice try


I’m glad I checked the label. At first I was so excited – vegetarian French Onion?! Amazing! Oh wait…

    I wonder what “Beef Extract” is that isn’t already covered by “Beef Broth” or “Beef Fat” 🤔

    Google to the rescue! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meat_extract

    I will see if I can get you my sister-in-law’s vegetarian French onion soup recipe! It involves turnips and I could have sworn it was the non-vegetarian version while eating it. So yummy.

        So! My sister-in-law says that she basically makes Julia Child’s French Onion Soup recipe:

        https://kitchencourage.areavoices.com/2012/10/31/julia-childs-french-onion-soup/

        However, instead of beef stock she uses vegetable stock. The stock is supposed to be brought to boiling to start with, so when she starts heating up the stock she also throws in a peeled turnip, which I swear is like magic in the soup. Noms!
