Dinner: Quick French Onion Soup

Ingredients:

• 2 large red or yellow onions, peeled and thinly sliced
• 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 cups chopped spring onions
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 teaspoon chopped dried thyme or 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
• 1/4 cup dry vermouth or dry white wine
• 1/s teaspoon freshly ground pepper
• 2 cups beef stock, chicken stock, or a combination of the two
• 1 15-ounce can chickpeas, rinsed
• 1/4 cup minced scallions
• 6 slices French bread or baguette
• 1 cup grated Swiss Gruyère or fontina cheese
• Salt to taste

Procedure:

1. In a large saucepan, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add the onions and toss to coat with the olive oil. Cover and reduce heat to medium. Cook while stirring for about 6 to 8 minutes or until they have softened and browned. Add in spring onions, garlic, and thyme. Cook uncovered for 3 to 4 minutes or until starting to soften.
2. Stir in the vermouth or white wine. Add in pepper. Increase heat to medium-high and bring to a simmer, stirring often until most of the liquid evaporated. Add in stock and chickpeas. Bring to a boil. Cover the pot and lower the heat to maintain a low simmer. Cook until vegetables are tender. Season to taste with more salt. Remove from heat and add in scallions.
3. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 450F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Lightly brush both sides of bread slices with olive oil. Toast in the oven for 5 to 7 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove from oven. Turn the toasts and sprinkle with grated Gruyère or fontina cheese. Return to oven. Bake until cheese is bubbly.
4. Ladle the soup over the bread and cheese and serve immediately.

High-fiber foods makes the elimination process a whole lot easier, which is great if you are suffering from anal fissures. Eventually, the pain will subside, but it would be better if you continue eating fiber-rich foods because of their added health benefits.
