Onion soup-a bistro classic-is enriched with cream for an elegant touch. Ingredients:
2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) butter |
5 cups sliced onions (about 1 1/4 pounds) |
2 large garlic cloves, peeled, halved |
5 cups canned low-salt chicken broth |
1 7- to 8-ounce russet potato, peeled, cut into 3/4-inch pieces |
1/2 cup whipping cream |
1 tablespoon dry sherry |
1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme |
minced fresh chives |
Directions:
1. Melt butter in heavy large pot over medium heat. Add onions and sauté until very tender and pale golden, about 25 minutes. Add garlic and stir 1 minute. Add broth and potato and bring to boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer until potato is very tender, about 25 minutes. Cool slightly.
2. Working in batches, puree soup in blender. Return to pot. Stir in cream, Sherry and thyme. Simmer about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. (Can be made 2 days ahead; chill. Bring to simmer before serving.) Sprinkle with chives.
