Author Notes: I used four (five, counting garnish) types of onions in this soup. It is a simple soup but it has lots of flavors. The onions really got to me. I cried all my mascara off! I hope it makes you happy. - dymnyno
Serves 6
- 2 large yellow onions, large chop
- 2 large red onions, large chop

- 2 quarts chicken stock
- 4 or 5 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Italian parsley, fine chop
- 1 cup dry Marsala
- 1 cup heavy cream
- salt and pepper to taste
- Saute all the onions and the garlic in a large pan with 3 tbs olive oil. (you can use butter if you want)
- Pour 1 cup Marsala in the onions and cook for a minute to deglaze the pan.
- Heat the chicken stock in a large pot.
- Add the onions to the chicken stock and simmer for about 30 minutes.
- Put about 4 cups of the onions in a blender and blend until smooth and thick. (Don't include very much liquid in the blender) ADD this back to the soup.

Reading this after slicing onions...funny, when I'm wearing my contact lenses, the onions don't bother me at all. But without, I'm a crying mess. I'm interested in the science behind this mystery...
