Directions

1. In a large pot, heat the coconut oil over medium heat. Chop onions, and add to pot with, thyme, bay leaves, sugar, salt and pepper. Sauté until the onions are very tender & caramelized, about 20-30 minutes. Stir often to avoid the onions sticking to the pot. If they start to stick, you can add a few splashes of water and turn heat a little lower. Keep pot uncovered.
2. Mince garlic and add to pot, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes, careful to not burn garlic. Add the red wine and bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer on low for about 10-15 minutes, or until the wine has evaporated.
3. Remove the bay leaves and stir the flour into the onions. Turn the heat down to medium-low and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Stir often so the flour doesn't burn.
4. Add the vegetable stock and lemon juice. Simmer for for 10-15 minutes. Taste the soup to see if it needs anymore salt or pepper and add if needed.
5. Heat the broiler to high. Carefully ladle the soup into oven-safe crocks or bowls. (small Pyrex bowls work great). Fill half way, and place a slice of toasted baguette into each bowl. Now, add more soup, pouring directly over bread. Make sure not to overfill the bowls. Now top each baguette slice with a portion of the vegan cheese and place the bowls in the oven. Broil for 2-3 minutes to slightly brown and melt the cheese. Be careful not to burn the cheese. Remove carefully and serve immediately.
