Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

4 round sourdough loaves

1/4 cup butter -- (1/2 stick) melted

1/4 cup butter -- (1/2 stick)

2 1/2 cups chopped white onions

2 1/2 cups chopped leeks (white and pale green parts --

about 3 medium)

only

2 1/2 cups chopped red onions

6 large garlic cloves -- minced

1 large shallot -- chopped

2 tablespoons all purpose flour

1 1/4 cups dry Sherry

7 cups chicken stock or vege broth

1 1/2 teaspoons minced fresh thyme

1 1/2 teaspoons minced fresh rosemary

 

Preheat oven to 350°F. Cut 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch off top of bread

loaves. Scoop out bread, leaving 1/2-inch-thick shell. Generously

brush inside of bread bowls and lids with melted butter. Place bread

bowls and lids, buttered side up, directly on oven rack; bake until

crisp, about 20 minutes. Remove from oven; set aside.

Melt 1/4 cup butter in heavy large pot over medium-high heat. Add

white onions, leeks, red onions, garlic and shallot to pot. Cook

until vegetables are dark brown, stirring occasionally, about 25

minutes. Add flour and stir 1 minute. Gradually mix in Sherry. Boil

mixture until very thick, scraping up browned bits, about 5 minutes.

Gradually mix in stock; add thyme and rosemary and bring to boil.

Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer 30 minutes. Add cream; simmer

until slightly thickened, about 15 minutes. Season with salt and

pepper. Place 1 bread bowl on each plate. Place bread lid alongside.

Ladle soup into bread bowls and serve.
