Creamy Vidalia Onion & Wild Rice Soup: Soup

Servings: 32

Prep time:1.5 hours

Ingredients:

• 

  2 1/2 lb vidalia onions, medium sliced

• 

  2 tablespoons chopped garlic

• 

  3/4 cup melted butter

• 

  1/2 cup all purpose flour

• 

  1 1/2 quart chicken stock

• 

  1/2 cup wild rice

• 

  2 cups heavy cream

• 

  2 bay leaves

Step 1:

In large soup pot, cook onions, garlic and butter over medium heat until onions are tender. Add flour and mix until combined. Add chicken stock and whisk well. Reduce heat to a low simmer. Add wild rice, bay leaves and heavy cream. Cook on a low simmer for at least one hour, stirring frequently

Step 2:

Soup is great made ahead. You may need a little more chicken stock to adjust consistency after cooling. Other onions may be used or other vegetables added, but we like to show off these great onions in their prime every spring. This recipe yields approximately one gallon. Remove bay leaves before serving.
