by

Here’s a recipe for Outback Steakhouse’s Walkabout Onion Soup:

Ingredients:

  • 4 large onions, thinly sliced
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • Salt to taste
  • French bread slices
  • Swiss cheese slices
  • Parmesan cheese, grated (optional)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

  1. Caramelize the onions: In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 30-40 minutes, or until the onions are deep golden brown and caramelized.
  2. Add the broth and seasonings: Once the onions are caramelized, add the beef broth, chicken broth, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, garlic powder, black pepper, paprika, thyme, parsley, oregano, and cayenne pepper (if using) to the pot. Stir well to combine. Bring the soup to a simmer.
  3. Simmer the soup: Reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer, uncovered, for about 20-30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt, if needed.
  4. Prepare the bread and cheese: While the soup is simmering, preheat the broiler. Arrange the French bread slices on a baking sheet and toast them under the broiler for 1-2 minutes on each side, until lightly golden brown. Remove the toasted bread from the oven and set aside. Place a slice of Swiss cheese on each bread slice.
  5. Serve the soup: Ladle the hot soup into oven-safe bowls. Float a slice of Swiss cheese-covered toast on top of each bowl of soup. If desired, sprinkle some grated Parmesan cheese over the top. Place the bowls under the broiler for 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  6. Garnish and serve: Remove the soup bowls from the oven and garnish each with chopped fresh parsley. Serve the Outback Steakhouse Walkabout Onion Soup hot and enjoy!

This rich and flavorful soup is sure to warm you up on a chilly day. The combination of caramelized onions, savory broth, and gooey melted cheese on top makes it a comforting and satisfying dish. Enjoy!
