Outback Creamy Onion Soup Recipes

Steps:

• In a 3-qt. saucepan over medium heat, saute onions in butter. Add broth, pepper, thyme and salt if desired; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 20 minutes. Add 1-2/3 cups milk. Stir flour into remaining milk until smooth; add to soup. Bring to a boil; boil and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened.

Steps:

• In 2 quart sauce pan place 3 tablespoons butter and sliced onions.
• Cook at low to medium heat stirring frequently until soft and clear but not brown.
• Add chicken broth from can, chicken bouillon cubes, salt, pepper, and stir until completely heated through.
• Add white sauce and Velveeta cheese. White sauce will be thick because it has been removed from the heat. Simmer on medium low heat until the cheese is melted and all ingredients are blended, stirring constantly.
• Turn temperature to warm and let cook for additional 30 to 45 minutes.
• Serve with a garnish of shredded cheddar cheese, and a couple of slices of warm dark Russian Bread.
• Thick White Sauce:.
• In a 1 quart sauce pan melt butter and add flour, cook on medium heat until the flour turns thick and comes away from the sides of the sauce pan.
• Pour milk in flour a little at a time and stir constantly, add salt. Mixture should thicken and become like thick pudding.
• Remember to stir constantly taking care not to let mixture lump, set aside off from heat until ready to use for the soup.

Steps:

• In a large soup pot or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onions, stir to combine with the butter, cover, and cook for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove the cover; increase the heat to medium-high and cook, until the onions are brown and caramelized, about 30 minutes. (Stir the onions frequently toward the end of this stage in the cooking, so they do not scorch or burn.) Add the thyme and garlic, saute for 2 to 3 minutes more. Pour in the wine and scrape up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon; simmer until the wine is reduced by about half. Stir in the broth and salt and bring to a gentle simmer. Cover, and cook for 30 minutes. Add the Cognac, if using, and season with pepper to taste. (The soup can be made to this point a day ahead and refrigerated.) When ready to serve preheat the broiler. Heat the soup and divide it evenly among 6 heatproof crocks or bowls. Top each soup with a slice of the bread and about 1/2 cup of the cheese. Place the bowls on a sheet pan and broil until the cheese is bubbly and brown. Carefully transfer each crock to an under-lining plate. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Combine broth, cornstarch, and sage in blender/food processor.
• In the top pan of a double boiler, combine broth mixture with canned soups.
• Mix well over medium heat.
• When warmed through, stir in cheese and heat until melted.
• Pour into oven-proof bowls.
• Broil in oven until tops are lightly browned.

Steps:

• In a large, heavy pot over medium heat, bring 2 quarts water to a boil. Stir in bouillon cubes and let boil 10 minutes, until dissolved. Place onions in boiling water, reduce heat and simmer 30 minutes.
• Stir in salt and pepper and simmer 30 minutes more.
• Stir the flour into 1/2 cup cold water to make a paste. Gently whisk this mixture into the simmering soup, being careful not to break the onions. Simmer 30 minutes more.
• Stir in cream and cheese until cheese is melted and mixture is thoroughly heated. Thin with water if necessary. Serve hot, garnished with croutons, if desired.
