Author Notes
I make this soup a lot because I always have everything I need on hand. Best of all, it only has 5 ingredients (if you don't count salt and pepper). It's good pureed or with the slices of onion floating around, and it freezes well. —Erin Jeanne McDowell

Ingredients
-
3 tablespoons
olive oil (45 g)
-
6
onions, thinly sliced (1,320 g)
-
5
cloves garlic, minced (25 g)
-
salt and pepper, to taste
-
2 tablespoons
apple cider vinegar (28 g)
-
3 (14 oz)
cans beef broth (or 6 cups homemade) (1,361 g)
Directions
-
Heat the olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add the onions, and toss to coat evenly in oil.
-
Reduce heat to low and saute, stirring occasionally, until the onions are golden brown and caramelized, about 10-12 minutes
-
Stir in the garlic, and season well with salt and pepper.
-
Deglaze the pan with the vinegar, and stir until it reduces completely. Add the broth, and bring the soup to a simmer. Simmer until the soup has good flavor, about 20-25 minutes.
I always have three kinds of hot sauce in my purse. I have a soft spot for making people their favorite dessert, especially if it's wrapped in a pastry crust. My newest cookbook, Savory Baking, came out in Fall of 2022 - is full of recipes to translate a love of baking into recipes for breakfast, dinner, and everything in between!
