Equipment

  • Saucepan
  • Saute Pan
  • Wooden Spoon
  • Chef's Knife

Ingredients
 
 

  • 4 Cups Pearl Onions
  • 3 Tbsp Butter
  • 3 Tbsp Flour
  • ¾ Cup Chicken Broth
  • ¾ Cup Half and Half
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • ¼ Cup Parsley Minced
  • 3 Tbsp Parmesan Cheese Grated

Instructions
 

  • Bring a large pot of water (8 cups) to boil. Add pearl onions and boil until tender, about 5-7 minutes. Remove onions, drain and peel. Set aside for later. If using frozen onions, boil onions until no longer frozen. Remove onions and set aside.
  • In a large saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in flour to create a roux and cook until bubbling. Stir in broth and half and half until smooth. Bring to a simmer and cook until thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon.
