Ingredients

  • 4-5 large onions, sliced thin
  • 2 cup water (or chicken/veg stock for extra oomph)
  • 1 packet onion soup mix
  • 2 tbsp butter or olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • optional shredded cheese, croutons, or crusty bread for topping

Instructions

  • Heat your pot over medium heat and melt the butter (or olive oil).
  • Slide in the onions and give them a toss. You’re aiming for glossy, not burnt, so keep them moving.
  • Cook onions 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they’re deeply caramelized and sweet. Yes, patience pays off here.
  • Sprinkle in the onion soup mix and stir to coat the onions. The smell will be suspiciously comforting.
  • Pour in water or stock, bring to a gentle simmer, and let it cook for another 10 minutes. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
  • If you’re feeling fancy, ladle into bowls and top with cheese, croutons, or crusty bread. Serve hot and enjoy the hug in a mug… or bowl.
