Savory caramelized onion soup enriched with white wine, cinnamon-spiced chicken broth, and bread crumbs for perfect thickness.
Ingredients:
  • 0.25 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 4 pounds onions
  • 2 teaspoons white sugar
  • 1 (750 milliliter) bottle dry white wine
  • 1 quart chicken broth
  • 1 small cinnamon stick
  • 4 cups cubed, stale French or Italian bread
Instructions:
  • Heat oil in a large heavy pot over medium heat. Cut onions in half lengthwise and slice thinly. Add sliced onions to the pot and stir to coat with oil. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are softened and beginning to color, about 30 minutes.
  • Elevate heat to medium and cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until onions turn amber in color, approximately 45 minutes.
  • Caramelize onions with sugar, salt, and cook until golden, about 5 minutes. Add wine, broth, and cinnamon stick. Bring to a boil, then simmer covered for 1 hour.
  • Combine the bread with the soup and cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the bread breaks down, for 30 to 45 minutes.
  • Discard the cinnamon stick, then whisk the soup to blend in the bread. Season to taste and serve hot.
