Slowly caramelising the onions gives this vegan French onion soup loads of depth of flavour, with just a hint of sweetness.

Vegan French Onion Soup Recipe

Y’know, I spent a bit of time in Paris and Aix-en-Provence, and not once did I ever even see French onion soup, much less eat any of it!

In fact – true confession time – when I was in Paris, I only ate Indian and Italian food. It wasn’t because I didn’t want to eat local specialities, it was a case of not being able to find vegan food back then!

I didn’t know about Happy Cow. I wish I had.

Traditional French Onion Soup

French onion soup is traditionally topped with a slice of toast, dripping with melted Gruyère; however, since I wanted to make a vegan version, I did away with that part of it all together.

There’s nothing to stop you using something like my extra mature vegan cheddar in this dish. It would work really well (although not as melty as dairy cheese) but to be honest, I’m not convinced it’s needed. This vegan French onion soup is pretty much perfect as it is.

Making Vegan French Onion Soup

The key to the depth of flavour is in slowly caramelising the onions. If you’re an impatient cook, you’re going to miss out on much of the flavour! Do make sure, therefore, that you leave yourself enough time to do this French onion soup justice. You won’t regret it!
