Permalink Creamy Cheesy Onion Soup

About 2 years ago, my wife and my mom decided it would be fun if my father and I did a home competition of Iron Chef. It was pretty fun except the chosen ingredient was pearl onions. You can't do jack or shit with pearl onions. Well, I ended up being the winner of the competition and it was because of this recipe. This recipe is 100% made up ... created out of thin air. To this day, I don't know how I came up with it.

Ingredients

2 - 15 oz. jars of small pearl onions
4 cups chicken broth
6 oz. Colby/Jack cheese, grated
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 tsp. Salt

Chopped green onion for garnish
A few tortillas cut into strips and fried to crispyness in some oil.

Directions

  1. Use a strainer to drain juice from the onions.
  2. In a deep sauce pan, add the onions and chicken broth. Bring to a boil for a about 10 minutes.
  3. Remove from heat. Pour entire mixture into a blender and blend to a very very smooth puree.
  4. Pour through a medium mesh strainer back into the pan. Bring mixture to a simmer over medium-low heat, stirring constantly. Add the salt.
  5. After a few minutes, add the cream. Keep stirring. You don't want it to scorch. Heat until it simmers again.
  6. Slowly add the grated cheese while stirring. Continue to heat until all of the cheese is melted and the mixture is smooth and creamy
  7. Serve immediately. Garnish with chopped green onion and crispy fried tortilla strips.

Serves 6-8 people
