How can I make French Onion soup without the use of chicken stalk?
Probably you can use mushroom stock and get a result that is somewhat beef-like. They sell it in some supermarkets. I think it is one of the "better than bullion" products. Or here's a recipe:
Reply:Kitchen Basics is a great brand name for stock. They have Chicken, Beef, Seafood and Veggie even pork. All slow roasted with a great flavor. If you can find it at your store I recommend it no matter what you are making it adds flavor.





I have used the Veggie, it's a very savory roasted vegetable.

Vegetarian French Onion Soup





4-6 servings





3 T butter or olive oil


4 large white onions, thinly-sliced


1 t salt


½ t dry mustard


dash of thyme


5 cups vegetable stock and/or water


2 T soy sauce


2 T dry white wine (optional)


white pepper


croutons or stale French bread


cheese: Gruyere or Swiss, grated or sliced





Melt the butter in the wok, saucepan, or kettle at medium heat. Add onions and salt, cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add mustard and thyme, stir well, cover. Simmer over very low heat for 35 minutes. Add stock or water, soy sauce, optional wine, and pepper. Simmer for another 10 minutes.





Ladle the soup into bowls and top with croutons and cheese. If your bowls are oven-proof, you can then place the dishes under the broiler for a minute or two to melt and brown the cheese.

Reply:I never use chocken stock for french onion soup, I always use beef stock. But I guess you could use a vegetable stock instead.
Reply:You can use canned vegetable stalk or powdered vegetable stalk. You can find these items at some grocery stores and places like Cost Plus and Trader Joes and international markets that sell ethnic foods.
Reply:use veggie stalk
Reply:Vegetable stock, you can buy it at the grocery store in the soup aisle
Reply:instead of using chicken stock, you can use beef bouillons, or stock. Nowadays, they have vegetable stock as well as any other stock in grocery stores. Do the soup according to the directions of your recipe and substitute something else for the chicken stock.

Vegetarian French Onion Soup





(Ingredients Per Person):


1 medium onion


2 cloves garlic, minced


1 tbsp. organic canola oil


Fresh ground pepper (to taste)


2 1/2 c. vegetarian "beef" broth (look for vegetarian bouillon flavored like beef)


1/4 c. dry white wine (optional)


1 tbsp. sherry (optional)


1 slice whole grain bread


1-2 slices of provolone cheese, Swiss cheese, or gruyere cheese





Cut the onion in half lengthwise. Then slice each half thinly and toss the slices into an enamel or stainless steel saucepan. Add oil and saute at a high heat. Add garlic. Stir occasionally, until onions are translucent.





Add broth, wine, sherry, and pepper. Bring the broth to a boil, then lower heat.





Ladle the soup into individual bowls. Place a slice of bread in each bowl and add cheese on top of the bread. Microwave each bowl for 1 min or until cheese is melted. Serve immediately.





Tips


To make your soup more authentic, use a slightly stale baguette instead of whole grain. Once you ladle the soup into (oven-safe) bowls, add the bread and cheese and broil them until the cheese is slightly browned and crispy around the edges.





For an untraditional French onion soup, add other vegetables like carrots, mushrooms, or celery. You might also want to add whole grains like barley.





If you can't find vegetarian "beef" broth, try this: use vegetable broth and 2-3 tbsp. vegetarian worcestershire sauce per serving. Optionally, add 1/2 tsp. soy sauce as well.





The vegans I've consulted say they would make this soup vegan by skipping the cheese. If you want to give it a go with vegan cheese, I am told Follow Your Heart monterey jack or mozzerella might be your best bets.
