Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
4 tablespoons butter
2 cups yellow onions -- finely chopped
4 large leeks (whites only) -- well cleaned and
-- thinly sliced
1/2 cup chopped shallots
4 garlic cloves (up to 6) -- peeled and minced
4 cups chicken stock
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 bay leaf
salt -- to taste
pepper -- to taste
1 cup heavy cream
toasted croutons
grated Swiss cheese or Gruyere
snipped chives -- for garnish
Melt butter in pot and add yellow onions, leeks, shallots and garlic. Cook covered over low heat until tender and lightly colored, about 25 minutes. Add chicken stock, thyme and bay leaf and season to taste with salt and pepper. Bring to boil, reduce heat and cook partially covered for 20 minutes.
Pour soup through a strainer over a bowl and keep the liquid. Transfer half of onions and half of liquid to processor and process till smooth. Be sure to remove the bay leaf before processing. Mix all back together and set over medium heat. Whisk in cream and warm soup. Don't boil because it will break down the cream.
Top with a few toasted croutons and chives and serve
