6 cups of beef broth
1/2 cup of dry white wine
1 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce

In a large pot, melt 3 tablespoons of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
Add the thinly sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 30 minutes until the onions are caramelized and golden brown.
Stir in 1 teaspoon of sugar and continue to cook for another 5 minutes to enhance the caramelization.
Add 2 cloves of minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in 1/2 cup of dry white wine to deglaze the pot, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.

Serve hot and enjoy!

Soup

French onion soup has a rich history dating back to ancient Rome, where onions were a staple ingredient. The modern version originated in France, gaining popularity in the 18th century. This hearty soup is made with caramelized onions, beef broth, and topped with a crusty baguette and melted Gruyère cheese. Chefs like Julia Child and Jacques Pépin have popularized the dish, and it's a staple in French bistros. The best version can be found in Parisian brasseries, where the soup is slow-cooked to perfection. The key to a great French onion soup lies in the caramelization of the onions and the quality of the beef broth.
