1 cup chopped onion
1 tbsp. chopped garlic

HG FYI: Not all onion soup mixes are gluten free, so read labels carefully if that’s a concern.
HG Tips!
- Feel free to use grated Parm in place of nutritional yeast. (The recipe will no longer be vegetarian, though, due to animal rennet in the cheese.)
- No immersion blender? Transfer slightly cooled contents to a traditional countertop blender and carefully puree until smooth (working in batches as needed).
- Set your frozen veggies out to thaw while the soup slow-cooks—so easy! (FYI: Adding those vegetables after the soup cooks helps the soup blend up into a pretty green color vs. coming out swampy.)
