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
- Use a strainer to drain juice from the onions.
- In a deep sauce pan, add the onions and chicken broth. Bring to a boil for a about 10 minutes.
- Remove from heat. Pour entire mixture into a blender and blend to a very very smooth puree.
- Pour through a medium mesh strainer back into the pan. Bring mixture to a simmer over medium-low heat, stirring constantly. Add the salt.
- After a few minutes, add the cream. Keep stirring. You don't want it to scorch. Heat until it simmers again.
- Slowly add the grated cheese while stirring. Continue to heat until all of the cheese is melted and the mixture is smooth and creamy
- Serve immediately. Garnish with chopped green onion and crispy fried tortilla strips.
Serves 6-8 people
