Creamy Onion Soup like Outback Steak House
(Gloria Pitzer)
1 (10 oz) can creamy onion soup
1 (10 oz) can cream of chicken soup
1 (10 oz.) can cream of celery soup
1 (10 oz can) chicken broth
1/2 c. well shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 c. shredded Colby cheese
1/4 c. shredded Provolone cheese
In top of double boiler over gently simmering water combine soups. When piping hot stir in cheeses. Serve in ovenproof bowls, placing soup under broiler briefly to lightly brown the top.
Note: Because it is a very thick, slick, smooth onion soup, it's not easily imitated with pantry shelf products, but it comes close. If you want a more authentic version, use the addition of 3 T. cornstarch combined with that 10 ounce can clear chicken broth, in the blender til smooth, before stirring it into the other canned creamed soup mixture. Then you can cut back on the cheese, using only half as much. Leftover soup does not keep well nor does it freeze well. In the refrigerator, covered, try to use it within 2 or 3 days.
