Your Gluten Free Recipes

One of my most favored soups is French onion soup.  Several years ago I discovered how very simple it is to make from scratch.  I found the original recipe in The Natural Healing Cookbook.  I have made a few modifications of the oils used and the bread to make it healthier and gluten free.  Serves 2.

1 TBSP coconut oil
1 large onion, thinly sliced (a sweet variety works best)
1 clove garlic, minced
2 C. gluten free chicken stock
2 tsp. wheat free tamari
1/2 tsp blackstrap molasses ( we we out of this and brown sugar does work, but not as well.  You need to use more, around 2 tsp)
1 bay leaf
2 thin slices gluten free sandwich bread, cubed
Parmesan cheese, shredded for garnish

Place oil in stock pot, add onions and saute.  Add a tablespoon water if needed to keep onions from sticking to the bottom of the pan.  When onions are slightly tender, add garlic, stock, tamari, molasses, and bay leaf.  Simmer for 30-45 minutes.  Remove bay leaf.  Place in 2 oven proof bowls. Top with cubed bread and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.  Place under broiler until cheese is melted and begins to brown.  Careful!!! Soup will be very hot!
