This garlicky veloute soup contains chicken broth and white wine thickened with a roux. A generous amount of grated Swiss cheese is melted into the flavorful broth immediately prior to serving.
INGREDIENTS (for 6 servings):
- 6 cups chicken stock
- 10 cloves garlic, crushed
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup white wine
- 2 1/2 cups shredded Swiss cheese
PREPARATION:
Place the stock in a large pot over high heat. Bring to a boil, stir in the garlic and reduce heat to low.
In separate skillet over medium heat, combine the butter and flour and stir well for a few minutes. Add the garlic and stock mixture along with the wine, stirring constantly. Bring to a boil to thicken.
Stir in the cheese and serve immediately. (Do NOT allow to boil once cheese has been added, and do not allow to sit long or the cheese will separate out.)
