CHILLED CREAM OF VIDALIA ONION SOUP

Steps:

• In a heavy kettle cook the bacon over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until it is crisp and transfer it with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain.
• Add the butter and oil to the kettle and in the fat cook the onion and garlic, covered, over low heat, stirring occasionally, for 25 to 30 minutes, or until they are colored lightly and softened.
• Add chicken broth, wine, thyme, and bay leaf and simmer the mixture, covered, for 20 minutes.
• Discard the bay leaf and in a blender or food processor purée the mixture in batches.
• Strain the mixture into a bowl, pressing hard on the solids- this is an important step, so don't skimp on the time it might take to separate the solids; discard solids.
• Chill the mixture covered, for 3 to 4 hours, or until it is cold.
• Whisk in the heavy cream (I use 1/2 and 1/2), crème fraîche (I use softened cream cheese), lemon juice, Tabasco, nutmeg, and salt and pepper to taste- I used a stick blender to get the milk and cheese smooth- and serve the soup in chilled bowls, sprinkle with the bacon, croutons, and scallion.
• Notes: The texture of this came out very much like tomato soup- at first, after doing the puree in the food processor, I considered just putting the whole mess into the soup, because when I put the puree into the strainer the drip of liquid was slow; but I took about 15 minutes with a spatula, moving the puree around and pressing it through the strainer and scraping it off the bottom, and sure enough, eventually I had most of it through and what came out into the bowl (and scraped off the bottom of the strainer) was quite a different texture than what I would have gotten otherwise; I ended up with about 4 cups of liquid (also containing*very* fine puree) and about a 1/2 cup of solids.

CREAM OF POTATO AND ONION SOUP

Steps:

• In a medium pot, saute the bacon over medium heat until browned. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
• Next, add the white onion and saute over medium heat until onions become translucent. Add the diced potatoes along with the olive oil and continue to saute for about 6 or 7 minutes, stirring frequently. When the potatoes begin to soften, add the chicken broth and stir, scraping the bottom of the pan (to deglaze).
• Reduce heat to low and allow to simmer for about 15 minutes, checking on it every 5 minutes or so. Next, add the evaporated milk, salt, nutmeg, and pepper. Stir so that ingredients are well mixed. At this time, you can use a hand held blender to puree the soup. If you don't have a hand held blender, use a food processor and pulse blend for a couple of minutes. You may add a bit more chicken stock if it seems too thick.
• When the soup is well blended and velvety, add back the bacon as well as the parsley and stir well. Simmer for a couple more minutes and then taste for proper seasoning. Remove from heat and stir in 1 tablespoon of butter until melted. Serve hot, adding some of the scallions for garnish and a small pad of butter. Serve with a hearty bread on the side. Enjoy.

CREAM OF ONION SOUP

Steps:

• 1. Quarter the onions lengthwise then thinly slice sideways. Place the sliced onions and olive oil in a large pot over medium low heat. Stir often till onions are translucent.
• 2. Add the flower and stir till all the liquid is absorbed. Gradually add the chicken broth stirring well after each addition to prevent any lumps from forming. Add the milk, the salt and pepper and bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer partially covered for 20 - 30 minutes or until onion is tender.
• 3. For serving, place some cream in each bowl (about 1/4 cup depending on personal preference) then ladle the soup over the cream, stir and enjoy.
