Ingredients

  • 4 cups diced sweet onions, about 2 med-large onions
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed rosemary
  • 5 1/2 cups chicken broth
  • 1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon salt, as needed
  • 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
  • 2 large russet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1/2 - 1 cup fat-free half-and-half, depends how thin you prefer the soup
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives

Method

  • In a large soup pot, saute the onions and rosemary in the butter over low-med heat until soft. Do NOT allow them to brown.
  • Add the chicken broth, salt, white pepper, and diced potatoes. Bring to a soft boil.
  • Reduce heat and simmer over low-med heat for about 20 minutes or until potatoes are very soft.
  • Use a hand blender, or regular blender and puree until there are almost noe chunks left. I like a little chunks for texture.
  • Return to low heat and stir in the FF half and half until you're pleased with the thickness.
  • Serve and garnish with the fresh parmesan cheese and the chopped chives.
