Recipe Introduction


This recipe can be prepared in 45 minutes or less.
A mild-tasting soup that's smooth and rich.




List of Ingredients




3 tablespoons butter
2 cups chopped onions
3/4 cup peeled garlic cloves (about 30)
2 tablespoons all purpose flour
3 14 1/2-ounce cans low-salt chicken broth
1 cup half and half
1/2 cup dry Sherry
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 small bay leaf
3 slices old-fashioned white bread, torn into pieces



Recipe




Melt butter in large pot over medium heat. Add onions and garlic. Cover; cook until onions are tender but not brown, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes. Add flour; stir 2 minutes. Add broth, half and half, Sherry, thyme and bay leaf; bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer uncovered until garlic is very tender, about 15 minutes. Discard bay leaf. Working in batches, puree soup with bread in blender until smooth. Return to pot. Season with salt and pepper. Rewarm soup over medium heat; serve.

Serves 6 to 8.
