In a heavy bottom soup pot or Dutch oven over medium low heat add the butter and oil to melt.
Add the sliced onions and stir. Cover with lid and cook for 15 minutes. Remove lid and turn heat to low. Cook, stirring often, another 15 minutes until onions are a dark golden brown.

Use white or yellow onions, red are too sweet, but that is up to you.

Hi Kevin, Loved your recipe and video - very quick and easy to follow/refer to. I made my beef stock using oxtail (cooked overnight in a slow cooker) and it was delicious. I used the white wine and brandy (to gain an authentic classic French flavour) and substituted flour with corn starch to keep it gluten free.
You cook great food!!
I love soup season for recipes just like this one! Looking forward to warming up with this for dinner tonight!
This was really excellent . Kevin, your instructions and suggestions are always spot on. For some reason I can never caramelize onions as fast as recipes call for , but I didn't mind. I didn't have any fresh thyme , but this was still 5 stars .
This is such a comforting meal for fall nights!!
Thank you for easily breaking down this recipe! I have always wanted to try it at home as it's my husband's favorite. Can't wait to see his face when he takes his first bite. Yum!
My favorite soup!! YUM!! I can't wait to try this recipe!
