You've made cream of...mushroom, asparagus, celery before maybe... but have you made Cream of Onion? It's super easy, very creamy and a perfect tableau for the Crispy Leeks to be artfully scattered across!
Ingredients
3 onions, chopped roughly
6 cloves garlic, left whole
4 Tbsp unsalted butter or olive oil
4 Tbsp flour or cornstarch
1/2-1 tsp salt and white pepper (black will do, too)
1 quart veggie broth, water, etc. *Can use more as needed to thin out soup to desired consistency
1-2 white potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 batch Crispy Leeks, recipe to follow *for garnish
Instructions
- In a large soup pot set over medium heat, cook onions and garlic in butter or olive oil for 5 minutes.
- Add flour or cornstarch and stir to coat evenly.
- Cook, stirring often, for 5 minutes.
- Add broth, a little at a time, stirring well after each addition of liquid.
- Once you've added about 2 cups and the soup is smooth, add the rest of the liquid + potatoes and simmer until onions and potatoes are completely tender.
- Transfer to a blender, puree until smooth and serve topped with Crispy Leeks, see recipe below.
