Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium, thinly sliced Yellow onions
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons Flour
- 4 cups Chicken broth
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 8 ounces (cubed) Velveeta cheese
- 1 cup, shredded (for garnish) Cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon White pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
Instructions
In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the thinly sliced onions to the pot and sauté for about 10 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are soft and lightly golden.
Sprinkle the flour over the sautéed onions and stir well to coat evenly. Continue cooking for 2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
Slowly pour in the chicken broth while stirring continuously to avoid lumps.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 10 minutes.
Stir in the heavy cream and allow the soup to heat through without boiling, around 2-3 minutes.
Add the cubed Velveeta cheese to the pot, stirring until it is completely melted and the soup is smooth.
Season the soup with salt, white pepper, and paprika. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Ladle the soup into bowls and top each serving with shredded cheddar cheese as garnish.
Serve hot with crusty bread or crackers for dipping.
