Vidalia Onion Soup Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Sauté the Onions

   In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced Vidalia onions and sauté until they are soft and caramelized, about 15-20 minutes.

2. 2

   Add Garlic and Seasonings

   Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Then add the thyme, bay leaf, salt, and black pepper.

3. 3

   Simmer the Soup

   Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

4. 4

   Blend the Soup (Optional)

   For a smooth texture, use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth, or blend in batches in a regular blender.

5. 5

   Serve the Soup

   Remove the bay leaf and ladle the soup into bowls. Top with asparagus flan, rock shrimp, crispy onions, and micro herbs for garnish.
