A velvety, rich, and savory soup perfect for chilly fall evenings, featuring caramelized onions and roasted garlic for ultimate comfort.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 yellow onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 bulb garlic, roasted
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 cups vegetable stock
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon thyme (fresh or dried)
  • 1 bay leaf
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional garnish: chopped parsley or croutons

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice off the top of a garlic bulb, drizzle with olive oil, and wrap it in foil. Roast for about 40 minutes until soft and fragrant. Let cool before squeezing out the cloves.
  2. Melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and caramelized. Season with a pinch of salt.
  3. In a soup pot, combine the caramelized onions, roasted garlic, vegetable stock, thyme, and bay leaf. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes to let the flavors meld.
  4. Remove the bay leaf and transfer the mixture to a blender (or use an immersion blender directly in the pot). Blend until smooth and creamy.
  5. Stir in the heavy cream and gently heat the soup over low heat for 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with parsley or croutons. Enjoy warm!

Notes

[‘Caramelizing onions takes time, so cook them on medium heat and stir frequently to avoid burning.’, ‘If short on time, roast peeled garlic cloves in a skillet with olive oil until golden and soft.’, ‘Let the soup cool slightly before blending to avoid splatters.’, ‘Adjust the thickness of the soup by adding more vegetable stock or cream as needed.’, ‘Add a splash of white wine or smoked paprika for an elevated flavor profile.’]
