Ingredients

• 1) 1 large whole garlic head
• 2) 1.5 tablespoons olive oil
• 3) 9 cups, about 4 large, thinly sliced sweet onions
• 4) 2.5 cups, about 2 medium, sliced leeks
• 5) 1 teaspoon salt
• 6) 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 7) 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 8) 1/3 cup dry white wine
• 9) 4 cups vegetable broth
• 10) 2 cups milk

Steps

• 1) Roast garlic and caramelize onions using preferred methods.
• 2) Over medium heat, sautée leeks alongside salt and thyme until golden, about 12-15min.
  Stir in the caramelized onions and cook for a few extra minutes.
• 3) Stir the flour into the onion mixture and cook 1min. Add wine, broth, and garlic, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer 30 minutes.
• 4) Place cooked onion mixture in a blender and process until smooth.
• 5) Pour the blended onion mixture back into the large saucepan, and add milk. Simmer 8min or until thoroughly heated.

Notes

• 1) For greater flavor, add extra herbs like dried oregano, or basil, and add freshly grated parmesan.
• 2) Substitute flour for corn starch for a sikier feel.
• 3) Substitute part of the milk for evaporated milk to enhance the flavor or consider reducing or eliminating the milk altogether.
