I hated soup made with onion soup mixes or that came out of a can. I love Vidalia onions and roast them a lot.. This is a creamy soup that uses roasted onion.
Ingredients
- 6 medium vidalia onions, outer layers removed shopping list
- 1/4 cup bacon drippings or olive oil shopping list
- 2 leeks, white part only, chopped shopping list
- 2 ribs celery, chopped shopping list
- 2 quarts chicken stock or canned broth, low sodium shopping list
- 1 cup sweet sherry or sweet wine shopping list
- 1 cup heavy cream shopping list
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh thyme shopping list
- salt and white pepper to taste shopping list
- 1 bunch fresh chives for garnish shopping list
How to make it
- Wrap each onion separately in aluminum foil and place in a 300° F oven (or in the coals of a fire or grill pit) until onions feel tender all the way through, about 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
- Heat drippings in a large pot. Add leek and celery; cook until softened but not browned. Remove onions from foil, quarter and add to pot. Add chicken stock and sherry. Simmer about 45 minutes. Stir in cream and thyme. Remove from heat.
- In batches, puree mixture in a blender until smooth. Add salt and pepper to taste. Garnish each serving with chives. Serve immediately. Makes 12 servings.
