For a vegan option, use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth and omit the cream or substitute with a plant-based cream alternative. To enhance the flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes or a clove of minced garlic to the onions as they cook. The soup can be made ahead of time and reheated gently before serving. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
