Onions have a natural sweetness (which is why they caramelize so beautifully) and add a delicate and delicious flavor to this soup. It’s great served next to a salad with crusty bread.
Cream of Onion Soup
Onion soup is made in one pot and goes from the stovetop to the tabletop in minutes! Or, keep it warm in a Crockpot and let everyone help themselves. Set out bowls of shredded cheese and some Homemade Croutons. Unlike a traditional French Onion soup, the caramelized onions and celery are pureed for a rich and creamy soup that’s perfect for dipping crusty bread. Even kids will love its sweet/savory flavor. Every home cook needs a few of their own made-from-scratch soup recipes. Nothing smells better than a slow, simmering pot of soup on the stove, ready to serve.
Ingredients
ONIONS: This recipe is best with sweet onions like Walla Wallas, Vidalias, or a combination of the two but regular onions will work just fine too. For a heartier vegetable-style soup, stir in or puree roasted veggies like carrots or potatoes. SOUP BASE: Broth and heavy creams make the perfect base for any soup or stew. Any type of broth or stock will do, simply adjust the seasonings. ADD INS: Onion soup is ideal for adding in leftover baked ham (or honey ham)!
