Five Lily Soup

---

This is a wonderful vegetarian version of french onion soup (no beef stock), using five different members of the onion family. I always use my rich brown vegetable stock, but you could use a good canned vegetable stock, and if not part of a vegan meal, enjoy with garlic croutons with melted cheese! Mmmmm!

Steps

---

Saute onion and leeks in olive oil until soft.

---

Add shallots , garlic and green onions and cook slowly for about 30 minutes , stirring occasionally , until vegetables are soft , cooked down and browned.

---

Add stock , soy sauce and molasses.

---

Scrape up browned bits , bring to a boil , then turn down heat and simmer partly covered for 30 minutes.

---

If not a vegan meal , this soup can be served with garlic bread croutons with melted cheese.
