CREAMY CARAMELIZED ONION SOUP
I love caramelized onions. I love cream soups. Why not combine the two? As a side note, caramelizing the onions takes a while. You don't want to burn them, you want to caramelize them. Be patient! :]

Steps:
- Melt 4 tablespoons butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add leeks, garlic, shallots, and half of the onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are very soft and translucent, about 10 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium-low, and cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are deep golden brown, about 25 minutes.
- Add vermouth, stock, and 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer, stirring occasionally, 15 minutes. Let cool. Puree onion mixture in batches in a blender until smooth, about 3 minutes per batch. Set aside.
- Meanwhile, melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a medium skillet over medium-low heat. Add remaining onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is very soft and golden brown, about 45 minutes. Cover, and set aside.
- Return onion puree to saucepan. Stir in cream. Reheat over medium heat, stirring, until heated through but not boiling. Season with salt, if desired. Serve, topped with caramelized onions.
Tips:
- Use a good quality stock: The stock is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good one. If you can, make your own stock using bones, vegetables, and herbs. If you're using store-bought stock, look for one that is low in sodium and has a rich flavor.
- Caramelize the onions slowly: Caramelizing the onions is what gives the soup its rich, deep flavor. Be patient and let the onions cook slowly over low heat until they are a deep golden brown.
- Use a variety of cheeses: The combination of cheeses in this soup creates a complex and flavorful dish. Use a combination of hard and soft cheeses, such as Gruyère, Parmesan, and fontina.
- Serve the soup immediately: This soup is best served hot and bubbly. If you need to make it ahead of time, you can store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you're ready to serve, reheat the soup over low heat until it is warmed through.
Conclusion:
This caramelized onion soup au gratin is a delicious and hearty low-carb meal that is perfect for a cold winter day. The soup is made with a rich stock, caramelized onions, and a variety of cheeses. It is then topped with a crispy breadcrumb topping. This soup is sure to please everyone at your table.
