This soup is super popular in the Outback Steakhouse. It is a creamy version of onion soup. Not French Onion, and this one is savory and filling.
It is more than a satisfying soup and I hope you make this one right away!
Although the famous restaurant has since discontinued the soup on their menus, you can very easily make this at home.
There is not a huge list of items needed, you probably have them all at home now.
Frequently Asked Questions:
What type of onion should be used?
I personally prefer the Walla, however, you can use any type of onion that you prefer. As long as there is some flavor to the onion. The best type is any onion that has a slightly sweet flavor. If I cannot find Wallas I will use white onions.
How do I store this soup?
Once the soup has completely cooled, it should be placed into an airtight container and then into the refrigerator. It can remain in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Can I freeze this soup?
This soup does thaw pretty decently. You could freeze it if you need to. I would not do that unless it is truly necessary.
