• Ingredients: 9
• Serves: 6-8

ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 6 large onions
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 3 tablespoons flour
• 4 (14 1/2 ounce) cans vegetable broth
• 2 cups red wine, dry
• salt
• pepper

directions

1. Begin by slicing your onions to the thickness of your preference.
2. In a large pot, heat oil over medium heat.
3. When oil is hot add onions and cook until soft.
4. Add the garlic and sugar and continue to cook. You will need to stir frequently. Continue cooking for approximately 20 minutes or until the onions are an amber color.
5. Stir in flour and cook 2-3 minutes while tossing the onions.
6. Start to add the broth. You may need to wisk to keep the flour from lumping up.
7. Bring to a boil.
8. Stir occasionally, watch for soup to thicken. If soup does not thicken appropriately mix approximately another tablespoon of flour with enough water to make a runny paste and whisk into soup.
9. Add wine and season with salt and pepper to taste.
10. Reduce heat to low setting and cover.
11. Let simmer 10 minutes and it will be ready to serve.
