This recipe is an interesting take on a heartwarming classic. From Gourmet magazine's March 1986 issue.
Ingredients:
3 cups thinly sliced onions
1 garlic clove, minced
3/4 teaspoon dry mustard
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
5 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cups chicken stock
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups milk, scalded
1/2 teaspoon prepared horseradish
1 tablespoon dry sherry
1 1/2 cups gruyere cheese, grated
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground white pepper
1/2 teaspoon soy sauce
3 drops tabasco sauce
1/4 teaspoon worcestershire sauce
Directions:
1. In a kettle cook the onion and the garlic with the mustard and the salt in 2 tablespoons of the butter over moderate heat, stirring, for 10-12 minutes, or until the onion is softened.
2. Add the chicken stock and simmer the mixture, covered, for 20 minutes.
3. In a separate saucepan melt the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter over moderate heat, add the flour, and cook the roux, whisking, for 3 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat, whisk in the scalded milk, and simmer the mixture, whisking, for 7 minutes. Add the horseradish, the Sherry, and the Gruyere and combine the mixture well.
4. Add the cheese mixture to the onion/chicken stock kettle, stir in the pepper, soy sauce, Tabasco, and the Worcestershire sauce, and simmer the soup, stirring for 10 minutes.
