Place 1 teaspoon olive oil in a 4-quart saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions and sauté, stirring frequently, until the onions are caramelized; about 10-15 minutes.

Add the stock, water, salt, and garlic to the onions, stir, and simmer, covered, for 40 minutes.

Place the stock mixture in a blender or food processor (or use an immersion blender) and blend until smooth.

Return the mixture to the saucepan (if necessary) and add the cooked chicken thighs. Stir, then chill.

Place 1 teaspoon olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.

To serve, divide the soup into 4 bowls, then top with the cooked (chilled) green onions as garnish.
