Como hacer una sopa cremosa de cebollas.

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Nutritional yeast is lower in calories and adds a cheesy flavor.

butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Olive oil is healthier and can be used for sautéing.

bread

🥗Healthier: whole grain bread

💰Cheaper: crusty rolls

Whole grain bread is more nutritious.

Cut 1 large onion into slices. If you don't have a large onion, you can use 2 medium onions.

Melt 3 ounces of butter in a large pot over medium heat and add a little olive oil to prevent the butter from burning.

Add the sliced onions and sauté for at least 30 minutes over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally to avoid burning.

Add 3 bay leaves to the pot for flavor.

Stir in some minced garlic or add 2 cloves of garlic.

Pour in 7 tablespoons of dry Italian vermouth. If you don't have vermouth, you can substitute with white wine.

Continue to sauté and let the alcohol evaporate as it heats up.

Add 2 cups of chicken broth to the pot and season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Let the mixture simmer for about 10 more minutes, for a total of around 30 minutes of cooking time.

Add a little heavy cream to the soup, and a few drops of lemon juice to enhance the flavor without curdling the cream.

Remove the bay leaves from the soup after cooking.

Let the soup cool for a bit before blending.

Toast some bread in a toaster for about 3 minutes to serve alongside the soup.

Blend the soup until it reaches a creamy and thick texture. You can use a regular blender or a powerful one, and there's no need to strain it.
