Cook Time 1.5 hrs.

Ingredients:
  • 1 cup olive oil
  • 4 ounces butter
  • 25 pounds white onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup dry sherry or cognac
  • 5 gallons beef stock
  • 4 ounces fresh thyme, chopped
  • 8 ounces chives, chopped

Preparation:
  1. In a soup pot over medium heat, add butter and oil. When butter is melted, add onions. Cook, stirring occasionally so onions do not burn.

  3. Add sherry or cognac and beef stock. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to simmer. Simmer 20 minutes.
