A hearty meal on a cold winters day. A great soup to have with a sandwitch.

- 2 T. oil shopping list
- 3 T. butter shopping list
- 6 C. thinly sliced onions shopping list

How to make it
- Heat the oil in a heavy 5-6 qt. pan. Add the butter. When the butter has melted, add the onions and cook slowly, covered for 10 minutes. Add the sugar and salt. Cook onions slowly until onions caramelize and turn to a rich brown color. Do not let them burn! This will take 45-60 minutes.
