Creamy Outback Euphoria Soup

Ingredients:

• 2 cups of sweet yellow onions, thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons of butter
• 1 can (15 ounces) of chicken broth
• 1/4 teaspoon of salt
• 1/4 teaspoon of freshly ground pepper
• 2 chicken bouillon cubes
• 1/4 cup of Velveeta cheese, diced into cubes (pressed in a measuring cup)
• 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 cups of our homemade white sauce (see below)
• Shredded cheddar cheese for garnish

Directions:

1. In a 2-quart saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced onions and cook, stirring frequently, until they become soft and translucent. This process takes about 10-15 minutes, and it’s crucial to avoid browning the onions as we want them to release their sweet flavor without any bitterness.
2. Once the onions are cooked to perfection, add in the chicken broth from the can, along with the chicken bouillon cubes, salt, and freshly ground pepper. Stir everything together, allowing the flavors to meld and the broth to heat through.
3. Now, it’s time to introduce the star ingredients that give our soup its creamy texture and irresistible flavor. Add in the diced Velveeta cheese and the homemade white sauce. The white sauce acts as a thickening agent and brings a velvety smoothness to the soup. Stir gently until the cheese is fully melted, and all the ingredients are well combined.
4. After incorporating the cheese and white sauce, reduce the heat to medium-low and let the soup simmer gently for an additional 30 to 45 minutes. This simmering time allows the flavors to develop further, creating a harmonious blend of onion-infused goodness and creamy richness.
5. Once the soup has simmered to perfection, it’s time to serve up this culinary masterpiece. Ladle the Creamy Outback Euphoria Soup into bowls and garnish each serving with a generous sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese. The sharpness of the cheddar adds a delightful contrast to the creamy soup, elevating every spoonful to new heights of flavor.
6. For the perfect accompaniment to your soup, toast a few slices of dark Russian bread until golden brown and crispy. The crunchy texture of the toast provides the ideal contrast to the velvety smoothness of the soup, making every bite a symphony of taste and texture.

Homemade White Sauce:

1. To prepare the homemade white sauce that adds richness and creaminess to our soup, start by melting 3 tablespoons of butter in a 1-quart saucepan over medium heat. Once the butter is melted and bubbling, add in the flour, stirring constantly to form a smooth paste.
2. Cook the flour and butter mixture, known as a roux, for a couple of minutes until it turns a light golden color and begins to emit a nutty aroma. This step is essential for removing any raw flour taste from the sauce.
3. Gradually pour in the whole milk, whisking constantly to prevent lumps from forming. Continue whisking until the sauce thickens and coats the back of a spoon. This process usually takes 5-7 minutes, and you’ll notice the sauce becoming smooth and velvety as it cooks.
4. Once the white sauce reaches the desired consistency, season it with a pinch of salt to enhance the flavors. Give the sauce a final stir, then remove it from the heat and set it aside until you’re ready to incorporate it into your Creamy Outback Euphoria Soup.
