Servings: 4 servings
Calories: 320kcal
Equipment
- Large Pot
- Oven-safe Bowls
- Immersion Blender
Ingredients
For the Soup:
- 2 large Yellow Onions, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose Flour
- 4 cups Chicken Broth
- 1/4 cup Heavy Cream
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon Sugar
For the Topping:
- 1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
- 1/2 cup Shredded Monterey Jack Cheese
Instructions
- Step 1: In a large pot, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat.
- Step 2: Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring frequently, until they are caramelized and golden brown, about 20-25 minutes.
- Step 3: Sprinkle the flour over the caramelized onions and stir well to coat. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
- Step 4: Gradually add the chicken broth, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Add the heavy cream, salt, black pepper, and sugar. Stir to combine.
- Step 5: Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- Step 6: For a smoother texture, use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth. If you prefer a chunkier texture, skip this step.
- Step 7: Preheat your broiler. Ladle the hot soup into oven-safe bowls and top each serving with a mixture of cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese.
- Step 8: Place the bowls under the broiler for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Notes
Take your time caramelizing the onions to develop a deep, rich flavor. Use freshly shredded cheese for the best melt. Taste the soup before serving and adjust the seasoning as needed.
