This is one of my favorite
soups EVER!
* 1 lb Spanish onions,
thin slice, 3/4" lengths
* 1 lb red onions, thin slice, 3/4" lengths
* 2 leeks sliced
* 1 bunch scallions, chopped
* 1 tablespoon shallots in oil
* 5 cups strong chicken stock
* 2 ozs. brandy
* 1 oz. whiskey
* 1 teaspoon salt
* 1 teaspoon pepper
* 4 ozs. butter
* 1 cup heavy cream
* 1 small box puff pastry sheets
* 4 ozs. Gorgonzola cheese
In a heavy bottomed soup
pot, saute' red onion & Spanish onion in butter until they
start to caramelize. Add leeks and cook until tender. Add chicken
stock, brandy, shallots, salt, pepper & whiskey and bring
to a boil. Reduce heat & simmer for 1 hour. Remove from burner
and slowly add heavy cream. Blend in well. Refrigerate over night,
if possible, for best flavor. Be very careful not to scorch when
reheating.
To serve: Ladle soup
into bowls, top soup with pre-baaked puff pastry cut ino 2"
by 2" squares and top with 1 oz. of crumbled gorgonzola
& bake in 400 degree oven until cheese begins to melt.
*NOTE: I obviously went
with a bigger piece of puffed pastry and loaded the top with
gorgonzola.
