FRENCH ONION MACARONI AND CHEESE SOUP



French Onion Macaroni and Cheese Soup image

During our first test in the Kitchens, our tasters thought this mash-up soup was just a big bowl of macaroni and cheese but the French onion soup hidden underneath the golden cheesy topping was a warm and welcome surprise. Make your soup ahead; once cooled, it can be frozen for up to 1 month.

Time 2h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
4 medium yellow onions, thinly sliced (about 14 cups)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 bay leaves
2 to 3 sprigs fresh thyme
1 cup dry white wine
4 cups low-sodium beef broth
4 ounces elbow macaroni (1 cup)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3/4 cup milk
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 3/4 cups shredded gruyere
1 3/4 cups shredded sharp yellow Cheddar
2 tablespoons panko breadcrumbs

Steps:

  • For the soup: Melt the butter in a large Dutch oven or pot over medium heat. Add half of the onions and season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Top with the remaining onions and season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few more grinds of pepper. Add the bay leaves and thyme. Cook, stirring occasionally, until all of the liquid evaporates the onions are very soft and just begin to turn golden, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Add the white wine, bring to a simmer and cook, stirring, until almost completely evaporated, about 6 minutes. Pour in the beef broth and 1 cup water, bring to a high simmer and cook until the soup has reduced to 5 cups, 30 to 40 minutes. Season with salt and a few grinds of pepper. Remove the bay leaves and thyme. Either keep warm on a low burner or cool completely, refrigerate and reheat later. (The soup can be made and refrigerated up to 2 days in advance or frozen for up to 1 month).
  • For the mac 'n' cheese: Bring a medium pot of water to a boil, add the macaroni and cook according to package instructions. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid.
  • Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour until smooth, about 2 minutes. Gradually whisk in the milk and reserved pasta water and stir until thick, about 4 minutes. Stir in 1 cup each of the cheeses, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper; stir until melted and smooth. Remove from the heat and stir in the cooked pasta until coated. Let cool slightly, stirring frequently.
  • Preheat the oven to broil. Place the soup crocks on a rimmed baking sheet and divide the hot soup among the crocks, filling about three-quarters of the way. Top each with a quarter of the mac 'n' cheese (some will sink into the soup, which is fine). Evenly sprinkle with the remaining cheeses and the panko. Broil until the cheese is melted and golden brown in spots, 2 to 3 minutes (the soup will bubble and some may spill out). Serve hot.

FRENCH ONION SOUP MACARONI AND CHEESE



French Onion Soup Macaroni and Cheese image

From Food Network's Ultimate Recipe Showdown- Comfort Foods. This wonderful recipe was submitted by Brett Greenberg. While it looks wonderful and got lots of oohs and ahs from the judges, as written, this is an artery-clogging heart stopper! Using low fat ingredients in the bechamel sauce would be an easy way to lighten this up.

Categories     Cheese

Time 2h

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 19

1/4 cup breadcrumbs
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
4 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups whole milk or 2 cups half-and-half
salt & freshly ground black pepper
8 ounces gruyere cheese, grated
3 ounces mozzarella cheese, grated
2 tablespoons butter, plus
1 tablespoon butter (or nonstick spray)
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

6 garlic cloves, peeled and chopped
2 tablespoons honey
salt & freshly ground black pepper
1 cup dry sherry
2 cups beef stock
8 sprigs fresh thyme leaves
1 lb pasta, cooked al dente (elbow macaroni, ziti, or fusilli work well)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Topping: Combine bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese in a small bowl and set aside.
  • Bechamel Sauce: Melt 4 tablespoons of the butter over low heat in a medium saucepan. Add the flour and stir to combine. Stir constantly, for about 3 minutes.

  • Grease a 3-quart baking dish or casserole with the last tablespoon of butter or spray with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Combine cooked pasta with onion "soup" mixture and bechamel sauce, and stir well to combine.
