Outback Onion Soup Recipe

Onion Soup with Cheese and Cream

This delicious and creamy onion soup combines the flavors of beef bouillon, onions, and a blend of cheeses, all simmered together to create a rich, savory dish. The soup is finished off with heavy cream for a luxurious texture and topped with melted Colby-Monterey Jack cheese. Serve hot for a comforting meal.

Ingredients

• 2 quarts water
• 8 cubes beef bouillon, crumbled
• 2 large onions, quartered and sliced
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
• cup all-purpose flour
• cup cold water
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cups shredded Colby-Monterey Jack cheese

Directions

1. In a large, heavy pot over medium heat, bring 2 quarts of water to a boil. Stir in the bouillon cubes and let them dissolve for about 10 minutes.
2. Add the sliced onions to the boiling water. Reduce the heat and simmer for 30 minutes.
3. Stir in the salt and black pepper, then continue to simmer for an additional 30 minutes.
4. In a separate bowl, combine the flour with cup cold water to form a smooth paste. Carefully whisk this paste into the simmering soup, being gentle to avoid breaking up the onions.
5. Let the soup simmer for another 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
6. Stir in the heavy cream and shredded cheese. Continue stirring until the cheese has melted and the mixture is thoroughly heated.
7. If the soup is too thick, you can thin it with a little extra water to reach your desired consistency.
8. Serve the soup hot, optionally garnished with croutons for added crunch.
