French onion soup isn't very common in France, at least, I'd never had it before. But in Quebec, it's one of the most traditional dishes and I often saw it in restaurants. So one time, at Gaïa, which is an amazing vegan restaurant in Bromont, well, I tried it and I loved it! The only thing I didn't like as much was that after a while, I got tired of eating just onions ahah ;) So when I imagined my own slightly revamped version, I added mushrooms and potatoes! So it's not really a French onion soup anymore, you might say... but that's okay :) The best part is the bread and the melted cheese on top anyway!

Steps

Peel and thinly slice the onions. Cut the potatoes into small cubes and thinly slice the mushrooms.
In a large pot, heat the olive oil. Sauté the onions in it. Add the potatoes and brown them on high heat.
When the potatoes begin to brown, add the mushrooms and cook them on high heat until they've lost their moisture.
Deglaze with soy sauce and beer. Then pour in the broth. Let simmer for 45 minutes over medium heat. Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg.
Preheat the oven to broil (or grill) mode. Pour the soup into 4 oven-safe ramekins. Place two slices of baguette on each and cover with vegan cheese.
Bake for 5 minutes to brown the cheese, then serve immediately!
