Time 1h5m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 7

12 potatoes, peeled and cubed
12 onions, chopped
6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
6 tablespoons butter
9 cups milk
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • In a large pot over high heat, combine the potatoes, onions and water to cover and boil for 30 to 45 minutes, or until tender. Drain the mixture, reserving 3 cups of the water. Transfer this in small batches to a blender and puree until smooth.

Tips:

  • Use sweet onions for a more flavorful soup. Yellow or white onions can also be used, but sweet onions will give the soup a more caramelized and rich flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot. If you add too many onions to the pot, they will not cook evenly and the soup will be watery. Cook the onions in batches if necessary.
  • Cook the onions until they are golden brown. This will help to bring out their sweetness and flavor. Don't rush this step, as it takes time to caramelize the onions properly.
  • Use a good quality broth. The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality one. Homemade broth is always best, but store-bought broth can also be used.
  • Season the soup to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You may also want to add a splash of white wine or sherry for extra flavor.
  • Serve the soup with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings for cream of onion soup include croutons, grated Parmesan cheese, and chopped parsley.

Conclusion:

Cream of onion soup is a classic comfort food that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious and satisfying soup that the whole family will enjoy. So next time you're looking for a warm and cozy meal, give cream of onion soup a try. You won't be disappointed!
