Ingredients

4 Medium-sized onions
4 Tablespoon butter
2 Tablespoon flour
1/2 cup milk
1 Teaspoon salt
1/8 Teaspoon pepper

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.
