Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Yellow onions
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 2 large Garlic cloves
- 4 cups Chicken broth
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 4 ounces Cream cheese
- 1 teaspoon Thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Peel and thinly slice the yellow onions.
In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the sliced onions to the pot and cook, stirring occasionally for about 25-30 minutes, until the onions are deeply caramelized and golden brown.
While the onions are cooking, mince the garlic cloves.
Once the onions are caramelized, add the minced garlic to the pot and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Pour the chicken broth into the pot, stirring to combine with the onions.
Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the soup to a simmer. Let it simmer for about 10 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low, then add the heavy cream, cream cheese, and thyme leaves.
Stir continuously until the cream cheese has melted completely into the soup, ensuring the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Season the soup with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste.
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, allowing it to melt into the soup.
Remove the soup from heat and ladle into bowls, garnishing with extra thyme leaves or grated cheese if desired. Serve hot.
