Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Butter
- 4 cups Yellow onions, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 4 cups Chicken broth
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons Chopped chives (for garnish)
Instructions
Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the sliced onions and garlic, cooking them until the onions are soft and translucent, about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cook for an additional 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Use an immersion blender to blend the soup until it's smooth, or transfer the soup to a countertop blender in batches and puree until smooth, then return to the pot.
Stir in the heavy cream, salt, pepper, fresh thyme, and Parmesan cheese. Continue to heat until the soup is warm, but do not let it boil.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Serve hot, garnished with chopped chives.
