3. Looking for a warm, comforting soup that's packed with flavor? Try this delicious Carmelized Onion and Parmesan Cheese Soup recipe. It’s perfect for cold days or any time you want to treat yourself.
5. #### Ingredients:
7. - 4 large onions, thinly sliced
8. - 3 tablespoons of olive oil
9. - 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme (optional)
10. - Salt and pepper, to taste
11. - 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
12. - 2 cloves garlic, minced
13. - 1/4 cup heavy cream or half-and-half
14. - 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
15. - Fresh parsley for garnish
17. #### Step-by-Step Guide:
19. 1. **Caramelize the Onions**:
20. - Preheat a large pot over medium heat.
21. - Add olive oil and sliced onions to the pot, spreading them out evenly.
22. - Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft and golden brown (about 20-30 minutes). Season with salt and pepper.
24. 2. **Simmer the Broth**:
25. - While the onions are caramelizing, add chicken broth to the same pot used for the onions. Bring the broth to a gentle simmer.
26. - Once the onions have reached your desired color, remove them from the heat and transfer them into the simmering broth using a slotted spoon.
28. 3. **Add Garlic and Cream**:
29. - Stir in the minced garlic into the soup mixture. Allow it to cook for about 2 minutes until fragrant but not burnt.
30. - Pour in the heavy cream or half-and-half, then bring everything back to a gentle simmer. Let it heat through without boiling.
32. 4. **Blend for Smoothness (Optional)**:
33. - For a smoother texture, use an immersion blender directly in the pot or transfer some of the soup mixture into a regular blender and blend until smooth. Return the blended liquid back to the pot.
34. - If you prefer chunky soup, skip this step.
36. 5. **Finish with Cheese**:
37. - Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until it has melted and incorporated into the soup.
38. - Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary by adding more salt or pepper.
40. 6. **Garnish and Serve**:
41. - Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve hot.
43. #### Tips for Success:
45. - To ensure perfect caramelization, use a heavy-bottomed pot to prevent the onions from burning.
46. - Adjust the amount of thyme according to your taste preference. It adds a delightful earthiness that complements the onions well.
47. - For an extra creamy texture, consider adding a small cube of butter along with the Parmesan cheese.
49. #### Conclusion
51. This Carmelized Onion and Parmesan Cheese Soup recipe is not only easy to make but also rich in flavor, making it a perfect meal for family gatherings or cozy nights in. Enjoy your delicious soup!
