- 2 1/4 cups sliced onions
- 1 1/2 teaspoons thyme
- Paprika for garnish

Melt butter in a heavy large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onions and thyme and cook until onions are translucent about 6 minutes. Add roasted garlic, chicken stock; cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Working in batches, puree soup in blender until smooth. Return soup to saucepan; add ½ and ½ and bring to simmer.
