Ingredients

Directions

  1. Peel and slice the 4 medium-sized onions into thin rounds or half-moons.
  2. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat.
  3. Add the sliced onions to the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are deeply browned and caramelized. This may take 10-15 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
  4. In the same pan (or a clean saucepan), melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.
  5. Whisk in the 2 tablespoons of flour and cook for 1 minute to remove the raw flour taste, stirring constantly to prevent browning.
  6. Gradually whisk in the 1/2 cup of milk, ensuring no lumps form. Continue cooking and stirring until the mixture thickens into a smooth white sauce.
  7. Return the browned onions to the saucepan with the white sauce.
  8. Add 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/8 teaspoon of pepper. Stir well to combine.
  9. Heat the soup thoroughly over low-medium heat for 2-3 minutes until piping hot. Serve immediately.
