Onion Veloute Stoup for Soup Saturday Swappers

Sneha of Sneha's Recipes is the host of this month's Soup Saturday Swappers and I had to do some searching to find a good recipe.  The theme this month is English Soup.  Well, I had read it to be English Soup, then found out it was actually supposed to be a stew.  But I had this bookmarked and made already so, here goes.  
Onion Veloute Soup

While it was a little on the chunky side to start with, and totally delicious, BTW, I took my immersion blender to it cause I wanted to have a sippable soup for while I'm doing the final cover for my cookbook.
Just a lot easier to maneuver a mug to the lips than balancing a bowl and spoon.

I'm so totally going to keeping this soup in my soup rotation, cause it was almost tastier or as tasty as a regular French Onion soup and dead easy to make as well.
I did have some sauteed onions and mushrooms already in the fridge and wanted to use them up in this, so I did.
I would also add a caution here.  Take the soup off of the heat after you stir in the egg yolks.  I left my pot sitting on the stove and even though I'd turned the heat off, it continued to cook and the egg yolks separated a little or it could have been the cream as well.  I ate it anyway. 

This is based on a recipe I found in  The Dairy Book of Home Cooking, published by the Milk Marketing Board of England and Wales. 
BTW, it's also National Dairy Month.  #Nationaldairymonth

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
  • pinch of nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 cup, sliced sauteed mushrooms

INSTRUCTIONS:


  1. Fry onions, mushrooms and parsnips in the butter until the onions are translucent. Place into pot.  Stir in flour, then blend in milk and water, and salt . Simmer 1/2 to 1 hour or until onions and parsnips  are tender. Beat egg yolks with the cream, nutmeg and paprika. Stir into soup. Heat gently without boiling for 2 minutes. Ladle into bowls and sprinkle parsley over each to serve.

    1. I love it when I can do this to a soup, I tend to work at my computer and eat at the same time, and regular soup and keyboards don't play well together. Sipping soup on the other hand...
