2 tbsp olive oil, plus more for drizzling

3/4 cup white wine
1 tbsp all-purpose flour
1 3/4 tbsp brandy

Steps

In a saucepan over a medium to high heat, add the oil, butter, and onions. Stir together and turn to low heat, covering with a lid or a cartouche. Cook very slowly for 30 minutes, until onions are completely softened and sweet.
Next, turn back to medium to high heat and cook until the onions are golden-brown. Stir occasionally so nothing catches on the bottom. Make sure to caramelize the onions to a deep golden color, as it will impart flavor to the soup.
