--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  2       tb           Unsalted butter
    1/2   c            Long-grain rice
  6       md           Onions -- peeled, thinly sliced
    3/4   c            Low-sodium chicken broth or

 Preheat oven to 350°F. Melt the butter in a medium ovenproof pot or
 Dutch oven over low heat on the stovetop, add the rice and cook
 1 minute, mixing to coat all grains with butter. Remove from heat,
 add the onions, broth, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Cover tightly and
 place in the oven for 1 hour. Remove from the oven and transfer the
 contents of the pot to a food processor. Add the cream and coarsely
 puree the mixture using the pulse button. Replace the soubise in
 the pot, cover and replace in oven to reheat before serving.

 To Freeze:

 Place warm soubise in an air-tight plastic freezer bag. Squeeze out
 excess air, label and place in freezer for up to 6 months. Defrost
 overnight in the refrigerator, at room temperature or on the
 defrost setting of a microwave. To reheat, place the bag in gently
 boiling water on the stove for 10 minutes before serving.
