Chef tips
For a deep, authentic onion soup flavor, take the time to caramelize the onions on low heat until they are rich brown and sweet before adding the chicken to the pan. For a festive family meal, sprinkle some vegan cheese over the chicken and onions and broil briefly, or stir fresh thyme into the mashed potatoes for an extra aromatic touch.
