Ingredients
3 tbsp. butterThe Five Onions: ~1 leek, white and pale green parts only, chopped ~1 yellow onion, chopped ~1 red onion, chopped ~3 scallions, chopped ~2 shallots, small dice2 cloves garlic, minced1/3 cup dry sherry4-5 cups low sodium chicken or vegetable broth1 medium (10 oz) russet potato, peeledSalt and pepper as desiredOptional garnish: croutons and chives (not included in nutrition information)I STRONGLY SUGGEST WEARING GOGGLES TO CHOP THE VEGGIES. Nobody can handle that much onion without bawling, but a pair of goggle will protect even the most sensitive peepers!
Melt the butter in a large Dutch oven or soup pot over medium heat. Add all of the five onions and garlic, but not the potato. Add a sprinkling of salt, and saute until translucent. This should take about 8 minutes (which feels like forever, but be patient with it.... Leeks burn easily over high heat, and taste gross when they do).
Pour in the sherry and simmer until most of the liquid has evaporated. Add the potato and broth and bring to a simmer. Cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potato is falling-apart tender.
Puree the soup with a stick blender (or in a regular blender in smaller batches), then season with salt and pepper.
Serve piping hot with crusty garlic bread or topped with your favorite croutons. Enjoy!
