Vegan French Onion Soup

• 2 tablespoons buttery spread (such as Smart Balance(R))
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 3 pounds onions, halved and thinly sliced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 6 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
• 1/3 cup dry sherry
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon sherry vinegar
• 6 slices sourdough bread, toasted
• 2/3 cup shredded vegan cheese

1. Heat buttery spread and oil in a large, heavy saucepan over medium heat. Add onions, garlic, and salt. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring often. Reduce heat to very low and cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are very tender and brown, 50 to 60 minutes.
2. Add flour and cook, stirring constantly, for 3 to 4 minutes. Blend in broth, sherry, and Dijon mustard. Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes. Stir in sherry vinegar.
3. Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Ladle soup into 6 oven-proof bowls. Top each bowl with a slice of toast and some vegan cheese. Broil until cheesy is bubbly and golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Serve hot.
