2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 pounds sweet yellow onions, peeled and sliced very thin
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 garlic cloves, minced or pureed
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

  • Heat butter and oil over medium low heat in large kettle. Add onions, salt, sugar and pepper and stir well. Cook very gently 30-40 minutes until limp and well caramelized. Add the garlic, cloves, paprika and raisins and cook one minute until their aromas are released. Add Madeira and simmer until reduced by half.

I've made this soup several times and it's always a crowd-pleaser. It's a great way to use up leftover bread.

I made this soup in a slow cooker and it turned out perfectly! The flavors had time to meld and develop, and the soup was incredibly flavorful.

This onion soup was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll reduce the amount of raisins next time.

I'm not a fan of raisins in soup, but I decided to try this recipe anyway. I was pleasantly surprised! The raisins added a subtle sweetness that complemented the caramelized onions perfectly.

I followed the recipe exactly and the soup was bland and disappointing. I won't be making it again.
