Categories     Cheese     Onion     Low Sodium     Simmer

Yield serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 pounds onions (about 8 medium), halved and thinly sliced
4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1/2 cup port or Marsala wine
2 cans (14.5 ounces each) low-sodium beef broth
2 cans (14.5 ounces each) low-sodium chicken broth
2 cups water, plus more if needed
Cheese Toasts (recipe follows)

Steps:

  • In a 5-quart Dutch oven or other heavy pot, heat butter and oil over medium. Add onions and garlic; season with salt and pepper. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until onions have softened, 12 to 15 minutes.
  • Uncover and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are dark golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes more. (If bottom of pot gets too dry, add about 1/4 cup water and scrape up browned bits with a wooden spoon.)
  • Add port and cook until syrupy, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in both broths and 2 cups water, season with salt and pepper, and bring to a simmer. Cook 20 minutes. To serve, divide among eight bowls and top each with a cheese toast.
  • Freezing Soup
  • Let soup cool completely, then pour into airtight containers, leaving 1 inch of space at top. Freeze up to 3 months. Thaw in microwave or overnight in refrigerator and reheat over low.
