Before you jump to Vickys French/Scottish Onion Soup, GF DF EF SF NF recipe, you may want to read this short interesting healthy tips about Choosing Fast Food That’s Very good For You.

Just about any article you read about improving your health or losing weight is going to tell you to ignore the drive through and cook all of your meals instead. This is really very true. Once in a while, though, you absolutely do not wish to make a full meal for your family or even just for yourself. Sometimes you just want to reach the drive through on the way home and call it a day. Why shouldn’t you be able to do this every now and then and not have a bunch of guilt about slipping up on your diet? This is possible because plenty of the popular fast food destinations are attempting to make their menus healthier now. Here is how to eat healthfully when you reach the drive through.

Aim at the side dishes. It wasn’t so long ago that French Fries were your only side dish choice at a restaurant. Now more or less all of the famous fast food places have broadened their menus. There are many salads out there today. Chili can be a different selection. Baked potatoes can also be bought. You can choose fruit. There are a lot of possibilities that you can choose that do not force you to consume foods that have been deep fried. When deciding on your meal from the drive through, choose a variety of side items instead of choosing a pre-made “meal deal”. You’ll maintain your calorie and fatty food count very low and escape commitment.

Basic logic states that the best way to lose pounds and get healthy is to ban fast food from your diet entirely. Most of the time this is a good plan but if you make great choices, there is no reason you can’t visit your drive through now and then. Sometimes what you need most is just to have another person do the cooking. If you choose healthy items, the shame usually associated with hitting the drive through shouldn’t be so bad.

Instructions to make Vickys French/Scottish Onion Soup, GF DF EF SF NF:

1. Melt the butter & oil together over a medium low heat in a large stock pot. Add the onions and turn the heat to low. Give them a stir to coat in the oil then put the lid on and find something else to do for 15 minutes, don't disturb the onions
2. After the 15 minutes are up, uncover the pot, add the sugar & salt and cook the onions for at least 45 minutes, stirring frequently until they are lovely and caramelized. Don't skimp on the cooking time here. This is what builds the intense flavour base, just like a gumbo roux
3. After the onions have fully caramelized, add the garlic & flour and cook while stirring a further 3 minutes. Add the red wine and stir well scraping the bottom of the pan. Add the soy sauce/worcestershire & stock, a quarter amount at a time and stirring after each addition. Add a little pepper to taste but go easy on the salt. The cheese will add some saltiness itself and you don't want to overdo it. Turn up the heat and let simmer partially covered for 30-40 minutes, skimming if needed. Add in the thyme - - https://cookpad.com/us/recipes/332952-vickys-soy-sauce-substitute - https://cookpad.com/us/recipes/338187-vickys-homemade-worcestershire-sauce-vegan
4. Preheat the oven to gas 3 / 165C / 325°F and spread the bread cubes on a lined baking tray. Toast, keeping your eye on them until they're golden all over then drizzle them with the melted spread / butter - - https://cookpad.com/us/recipes/368330-vickys-french-baguettes-gluten-dairy-egg-soy-nut-free
5. Put 6 soup bowls onto a foil-lined baking tray. Bring the soup back to the boil then add the brandy. Ladle the soup into the serving bowls, stir into each a tbsp of the cheese then top each with enough croutons to cover the soup. Top this with as much cheese as you like. Bake for 20 minutes then finish off under the grill to brown the top of the cheese. Serve immediately - - https://cookpad.com/us/recipes/346731-vickys-coconut-cream-cheese - https://cookpad.com/us/recipes/335730-vickys-coconut-milk-cheddar-cheese - https://cookpad.com/us/recipes/339693-vickys-velveeta-cheese-with-vegan-options
6. This is a kind of french/scottish onion soup fusion. Scottish style includes a leek, the garlic, worcestershire sauce and thyme where french does not. Also the bread is cubed where french style is to leave it in thick slices
