Outback Steakhouse Walkabout Onion Soup.

🥣 Outback Steakhouse Walkabout Onion Soup (Copycat Recipe)

This is a rich, creamy onion soup inspired by the one served at Outback — cheesy, comforting, and slightly thicker than traditional French onion soup.

🧅 Ingredients

• 3 large yellow onions, thinly sliced

• 3 tablespoons butter

• 2 tablespoons flour

• 4 cups beef broth

• 1 cup chicken broth

• 1 cup heavy cream

• ½ teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)

• ½ teaspoon black pepper

• ¼ teaspoon paprika

• ½ teaspoon garlic powder

• 2 cups shredded Velveeta (or processed American cheese)

• 1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Caramelize the onions
   Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add onions and cook 20–25 minutes, stirring often, until soft and golden brown.

2. Make the base
   Sprinkle flour over the onions and stir well. Cook 1–2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.

3. Add broth
   Slowly whisk in beef and chicken broth. Bring to a gentle simmer for 10–15 minutes.

4. Make it creamy
   Stir in heavy cream and seasonings (salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder).

5. Add the cheese
   Lower heat and gradually stir in Velveeta and cheddar until fully melted and smooth.

6. Serve hot
   Ladle into bowls and top with extra shredded cheese if desired.

🔥 Pro Tips

• For extra depth, add a splash of Worcestershire sauce.

• Want it thicker? Simmer a bit longer or add a little more cheese.

• This soup reheats beautifully — just stir gently over low heat.
