Method

Soup Preparation

  1. 1

    Caramelize the Onions and Leeks

    In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced sweet onions and leeks, stirring occasionally. Cook for about 20-25 minutes until the onions and leeks are caramelized and golden brown.

  2. 2

    Add Stock and Season

    Pour in the chicken stock, and add thyme, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for an additional 15-20 minutes to let the flavors meld.

Toast Preparation

  1. 3

    Prepare Pumpernickel Toasts

    While the soup is simmering, toast the pumpernickel bread slices until they are crispy and golden. Remove from heat and set aside.

  2. 4

    Serve the Soup

    Ladle the soup into bowls, top with a generous amount of Valencey cheese, and serve with pumpernickel toasts on the side.
