Description

A huge hit for dinner, the sweet taste of Vidalia onions combines with chicken broth and cream for a rich, deeply flavored treat. The soup is blended in a blender, so it comes out so creamy and thick! If you like Vidalias, you'll love this soup. You can make a lighter version by using milk and no heavy cream.

Ingredients

6 large Vidalia onions
6 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup milk
1 bunch chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Directions

1 Slice onions thinly. Place half of the onions in a skillet with half of the butter; cook, covered, over medium-high heat until soft, about 10 minutes. Remove to a platter, and cook remaining onions with butter. Return two-thirds of the reserved onions to the skillet. (Reserve the rest for garnish.)
2 Stir in flour until well combined with onions. Slowly stir in chicken broth. Remove from heat, and let cool about 10 minutes. Stir in cream and milk.
3 Pour into a blender, and blend until smooth and creamy. Return to stovetop, and heat through over medium-low heat. Pour into bowls, and garnish with reserved onions and chopped parsley.
