Cream of Chicken & Caramelized Onion Soup2 cups chicken stock, preferably homemade
1 cup chicken from a roasted chicken
1 cup half & half (10%) cream
2 tsp flour
1/2 tsp ground sage
4 onions, thinly sliced & caramelized (for easy directions, see this post)
salt & pepper to taste
Bring the stock to a boil & add the chicken & sage. Whisk together the flour and cream & add to the soup. Add the onions & season. Simmer until thickened. Serve.
This was...okay...I'm not sure how I feel about it now. I ate it all, for sure, but I'm not sure I'd make this again. It was kind of a strange combination. It definitely tasted better the next day when the flavours had a chance to mellow a bit. I don't know. I wasn't super stoked on it. What do you think of the idea?

I think it's a great idea! I really like cream-based soups. Too bad it was just "okay" because it certainly looks yummy.
I love the idea, it's a bummer that it didn't thrill you. Maybe a little tarragon or rosemary would help?
It looks gorgeous. Love the idea...sorry you didn't enjoy it more. You definitely had me at the carmelized onions part. I might try this myself but with some garlic in it.
Well your inspiration and imagination came up with a great idea. YUM
I'm surprised it was just okay...it sounds awesome to me...simplicity is often my the keystone of my favorite foods...I may try something similar...in spite of your less than rave reviews...sorry you didn't love it!
What do i think... Well, you probably want a better cook than me, but my thought is toasted bread cubes and it is perfect... maybe even (if it gets reduced down a little or thickened up a little) a presentation soup served in a bread bowl.
The ingredients sound really tasty. It could be you just need a little more... texture
It looks like it would work on paper, but sometimes those things just don't pan out. I've had several dishes that I THOUGHT were going to be good, turn out bland opr whatever.
This sounds absolutely delicious! Creamy and with the yummy flavors of the onions, mmmm!!
The sound of this recipe really gets my attention. I love caramelized onions and also love creamy chicken soups. Maybe it needs potato or something else, not sure. It sounds delicious to me!
for the short # of ingredients and time, i'd say, this rox my sox!
All of your recipes have been…well, perfect. I would try this one but it may be too creamy. Sometimes I make soup the evening before we need it and the flavors blend well. Like chili or stew is always better the second day.
Love a bowl of comforting soup on a chilly day like to night.
