Ingredients
Aromatics & Vegetables
- 2 Onion large, thinly sliced
- 1 Spring Onion finely chopped, white part only
Dairy & Stock
- 1 cup Heavy Cream fresh, or substitute with crème fraîche
- 1 cup Chicken Stock low sodium preferred
Spices & Seasoning
- 1 tbsp All-Purpose Flour also known as maida
- 1.5 tsp Salt or to taste
- 1/3 tsp Pepper black, freshly ground, preferred
Instructions
Sauté Onions
- Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large pan or kadhai over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook until softened and translucent, about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Make Roux
- Sprinkle in the all-purpose flour and cook, stirring constantly, for 1-2 minutes until lightly golden and there are no lumps. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
Prepare Onion Paste
- While the roux cools, blend the cooked onions into a smooth paste using a blender or food processor. Set aside.
Sauté Spring Onions and Season
- In the same pan, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the chopped white parts of the spring onions and sauté for about a minute until fragrant.
Add Spices and Stock
- Stir in the salt and black pepper. Add the chicken stock and bring to a simmer.
Incorporate Onion Paste
- Add the onion paste to the simmering stock and stir well to combine. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency.
Finish with Cream
- Stir in the heavy cream and cook for another 1-2 minutes, just until heated through. Do not boil.
Serve
- Remove from heat and pour into bowls. Garnish with fried onions and the green parts of the spring onions (optional). Serve hot and enjoy!
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for the Best Creamy Onion Soup
- For a richer flavor, use homemade chicken stock.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when sautéing the onions. Work in batches if necessary to ensure even cooking and browning.
- If you prefer a smoother soup, strain the soup through a fine-mesh sieve before adding the cream.
- Feel free to experiment with other spices to customize the flavor profile. A pinch of garam masala or curry powder would complement the dish beautifully.
