Delicious Caramelized Onion and Brie Soup
This soup features deeply caramelized onions cooked until golden brown, blended with rich broth and creamy Brie cheese for a luxurious texture. The recipe takes about 50 minutes from start to finish and serves 4 people.
Ingredients
- 4 large onions, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 8 ounces Brie cheese, rind removed and chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt, adjust to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Fresh thyme or chives for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Caramelize the Onions: In a large pot, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 25-30 minutes, or until the onions are deeply caramelized and golden brown.
- Add Broth: Pour in the vegetable or chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the pot to release any browned bits. Bring to a simmer and cook for an additional 10 minutes.
- Blend the Soup: Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth, or carefully transfer it to a blender in batches. Return the soup to the pot.
- Incorporate Cream and Cheese: Stir in the heavy cream and chopped Brie cheese. Heat gently over low heat, stirring until the cheese is melted and the soup is creamy. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh thyme or chives if desired. Serve hot with crusty bread.
