Dry sherry

Five pounds of onions, three hours, one transcendent bowl. The caramelization cannot be rushed. Anyone who says 30 minutes is lying to you.

What if French onion soup was a pasta dish? Caramelized onions, sherry, beef stock, and Gruyere. Goes viral every winter for good reason.

Dark beer and mushroom stock replace beef stock. Vegan Gruyere on top still works. The onions are the whole point anyway.
