Description

Creamy, subtle flavor.

Ingredients

  • 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 1 cup Onions, Thinly Sliced
  • 12 cloves Peeled Garlic, Smashed
  • 1 cup Dry White Wine
  • 1 quart Chicken Stock
  • 1 leaf Bay
  • 2 cups French Bread, Torn Into Pieces
  • ¾ cups Heavy Cream
  • ½ cups Shredded Gruyere

Preparation

Heat the oil in a large pot. Add onion and garlic. Cook over medium heat for 10 -12 minutes; the onion and garlic will begin to caramelize. Add the wine, cover, reduce heat, and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the stock and bay leaf.

Bring to a boil; reduce heat; cover and simmer for 30 minutes. Add the bread and allow the soup to sit without heat for 10 minutes. Remove the bay leaf.

In batches, pour the soup into the blender and puree until smooth. Add the cream and salt and pepper to taste. As each batch is pureed, pour into another pot. Keep warm over low heat. Garnish with the cheese (if desired).

Any recommendations for what would be a good substitute for the wine? Since I don’t know what the wine tastes like, I’m never sure which substitute would work best in certain recipes. Would more chicken broth do it, or is there something that would enhance the flavor better?

I added a chopped up potato this time around and it added a wonderful texture. I also used some fresh Rosemary bread from a local French bakery and the flavor of the fresh Rosemary made this soup stand out. Love it!

I made it last night, it was very very delicious. Even my garlic/milk hater friends loved it. I put milk instead of cream and it worked just fine.

This soup was absolutely divine! It tasted expensive…must have been the Gruyere which took me a while to find! Wasn’t at my local grocery store but I found it at Whole Foods! I will definitely make this again!

One of the only reasons I tolerate winter in Minnesota – Outrageous Garlic Soup season. Last year and now again this year, my son has chosen this for his Adoption Day celebration in December. For a tiny kid, he downs 3 bowls and begs for more even while he’s complaining of being “SO full”!

I skipped the wine, cream (subbing milk and butter), and gruyere so maybe that’s why this wasn’t to die for delicious. It was still good though I wished it tasted more of garlic. It just seemed like an amped up creamy onion soup to me.

I must’ve done something wrong because while the soup was good, it wasn’t ohmygoodness great. I did add bacon and I’m wondering if that messed it up. Might have to try it again and see if that makes it 5 mitts for us. All these reviewers can’t be wrong!
