Savory and Delicious Vegan Cheesy Onion Soup

…To tell you all the truth. I really don’t like onions, and to be perfectly clear I sometimes even despise onions. When I cook with onions the stank gets all up in my clothes, I cry alot, my skin becomes so irritated. It’s a whole scene. And yet, I still cook with onions. I think it is because I appreciate the health benefits, and when all the pain and suffering is said and done onions are pretty delicious. No denying they add flavor. Caramelized onions are incredible. Onions ya know, I believed they have their time and place. My relationship with always be a little huh complicated, but not with this soup. I am rallying for it. I think this soup is the best time and place for onions. . Ah, I tell ya I woke up today to clouds and it was cold, I had this crazy vegan mozzarella Miyoko’s World-Changing Vegan Pizza Mozzarella! Holy Jesus Krishna Budha that stuff is incredible! It melts and browns and is the most delicious cheese ever. I had it in my refrigerator, and some onions I really needed to use up . Haha, and here we are.
