How to make Vegetable stock
Place all the ingredients in a pot and bring to a boil, turn down to a simmer and reduce by half or until the stock (water) taste flavorful. Strain out and season with salt.
How to make French Onion Soup,
Add oil and butter to a soup pot along with all the sliced onions. The key here is to not add salt to the onion (that would draw out the water in the onion) and let the sugars in the onions caramelize completely. They should be dark caramel in color without burning. Once they have all cooked down (25-30 minutes) add salt to the onions and your vegetable stock. Bring to a boil and then season with worcestershire and salt and pepper if need be.
To finish,
Simply place soup in bowls add a piece of toasted sourdough and grate gruyere cheese over the top. Place in the broiler until the cheese has browned and melted. Serve and enjoy!
