Ingredients

  • 2 lbs yellow onions, sliced into thin half-moons
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
  • ½ cup raisins or currants
  • 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
  • 3 tbsp pine nuts, lightly toasted
  • 1 pinch salt and black pepper

Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 1 minute.

  2. 2

    Add the sliced onions and stir to coat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until deeply golden and caramelized, 12-15 minutes. Onions should smell sweet and jammy.

  3. 3

    Pour in the broth and add the raisins. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes until raisins plump.

  4. 4

    Stir in the red wine vinegar and season with salt and pepper to taste.

  5. 5

    Ladle soup into bowls and scatter toasted pine nuts and fresh parsley on top.
