Cream Of Onion Soup Will Take Your Mac And Cheese To The Next Tier
By Cristine Struble
To enhance the flavor and creaminess of your mac and cheese without any additional effort, use a can of cream and onion soup in place of a roux for a béchamel sauce.
Cream of onion soup has a subtle underlying sweetness that doesn't overpower the cheese in the dish. It acts as a thickener and lends a subtle flavor undertone.
For the best results, use condensed cream of onion soup. While you could use a different cream soup, the onion version gives the sauce a stronger flavor foundation.
It also creates a fantastic base for enhancing the recipe. It can help balance ingredients like diced jalapeños, mushrooms, or even an extra dash of hot sauce.
