Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :0:00

Categories : Low Fat Soups

 

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

3 spanish onions -- halved & thin sliced

3 lg shallots -- halved & thin sliced

1 lg head garlic (cloves peeled) -- cloves sep., halved

2 tsp olive oil -- pref extra-virgin

4 cups vegetable broth -- pref homemade

1/4 cup cognac

1 tbsp fresh thyme -- chopped

salt and freshly ground black pepper -- to taste

 

Set oven rack at the lowest level; preheat oven to 400°F. Combine

onions, shallots, garlic and oil in a large shallow roasting pan. Roast

for 20-25 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes, or until the onions are

golden. Remove from the oven and pour in 1 cup of broth. Stir liquid in

the pan, scraping up browned bits (this liquid will become quite dark.)

 

Transfer the onion mixture to a soup pot and add cognac, thyme and

remaining 3 cups broth. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to low and simmer,

covered, for 30 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Take 1/2 cup of

onions out of pot and set aside. Puree the soup with a hand blender, in

the pot, or remove to a blender and blend until smooth.

 

To serve, ladle into soup bowls. Garnish with some of the onions.

 

Serve with fresh bread.

NOTES : * The original recipe is from Eating Well New Favorites

Cookbook. I changed it a bit - I used cognac instead of brandy and I

pureed the soup, they didn't.

 

Also, I pureed the soup (which the author did not).

 

If you are LACTO, you can sprinkle some parmesan cheese on top.
