This soup is very flavourful, easy, and pretty, and a steaming bowl of it, with a slice of toasted sourdough or wholegrain bread, makes for a deeply satisfying meal.

Time 1h

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 tablespoon butter
1/2 tablespoon olive oil
1 lb sweet onion, peeled, cut in half, cut thin crosswise
1 lb portabella mushroom, cleaned, cut in slices
1 stalk celery, chopped
1 large carrot, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 cups chicken stock (a little more may be required to thin soup if too thick)
1 1/2 teaspoons dried thyme or 1 1/2 teaspoons dried herbes de provence
1 small bay leaf
1/2 cup half-and-half
4 ounces part-skim ricotta cheese
4 ounces swiss cheese, grated
salt and freshly-cracked black pepper, to taste
minced fresh parsley (to garnish)

Steps:

  • Melt 1 tablespoon butter with 1/2 tablespoon olive oil in saucepan over medium heat. Add onions and saute, stirring every few minutes, until they are caramelized, about 15-20 minutes. Add the mushrooms, celery, carrot, garlic and salt, and saute, stirring occasionally, for a further 5 minutes. Add chicken stock, thyme (or herbes de provence) and bay leaf to saucepan. Reduce temperature to a slow boil and cook, covered, for 15-20 minutes longer, or until vegetables are tender. Remove from heat. Discard bay leaf.
  • (Carefully) blend soup in batches, either in blender, or using immersion blender, until soup is mostly pureed, leaving a bit of texture in the vegetables. Return to saucepan and over a low heat, whisk in half and half, ricotta and swiss cheeses, until cheeses have entirely melted into the soup. (If soup is too thick, thin with a little more hot broth). Season to suit your taste with salt and freshly-cracked black pepper.
  • Serve in deep bowls, garnished with a sprinkle of minced, fresh parsley.

I'm not a big fan of mushrooms, but I loved this soup! The mushrooms are cooked until they're soft and tender, and they add a great depth of flavor to the soup.

I love that this soup is so versatile. You can add different vegetables or proteins to it to change up the flavor. I've made it with spinach, kale, and even sausage.

I'm a vegetarian, so I made this soup without the chicken broth. It was still delicious! I added a little extra vegetable broth to make up for the missing chicken broth.

I'm not usually a fan of onion soup, but this recipe changed my mind. The caramelized onions are so sweet and flavorful, and the mushrooms add a nice earthy flavor. I'll definitely be making this again.
