French Onion Soup (Vegan)

I know there are 800 french onion soups on Zaar, but this one captured my fancy for the richness of its ingredients and the use of miso/nutritional yeast. Of course if you aren't vegan I'm sure it is heavenly with a crouton and LOTS of cheese :). Servings are a guesstimate, as I haven't made this yet. Please advise if the servings seem off!

• Ready In: 55 mins
• Serves: 6

Ingredients

• 2  tablespoons olive oil
• 3  onions, sliced
• 1  portabella mushroom cap, sliced
• 3  garlic cloves
• 1  teaspoon thyme
• 1⁄4 cup tomato paste
• 1  cup dry red wine
• 4  cups vegetable broth
• 1⁄4 cup soy sauce (I will probably try Bragg's instead)
• 1⁄8 cup  dark miso (dissolved in 1 c water or stock)
• 1  tablespoon nutritional yeast flakes

Directions

1. Heat oil over medium heat and saute onions 3 minutes before stirring. Cook 20 minutes, or until the onions are well browned.
2. Add mushroom, garlic, thyme, and tomato paste. Cook 5 minutes, or until the tomato paste turns golden brown.
3. Add the wine and scrape the pan bottom, releasing any brown bits. Reduce wine as you simmer 2 minutes.
4. Add the stock, soy sauce, miso, and yeast.
5. Simmer uncovered for 10 more minutes.
