How to Make Onion White Wine Soup

  1. Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until deeply caramelized (about 20-25 minutes).
  2. Add beef broth, chopped celery, and diced potato to the saucepan.
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
  4. Carefully transfer the soup to a blender (work in batches if necessary) and puree until smooth.
  5. Return the pureed soup to the saucepan. Stir in white wine, white wine vinegar, and sugar.
  6. Bring the soup to a gentle simmer for 5 minutes.
  7. Stir in heavy cream, parsley, salt, and pepper. Heat through gently, but do not boil.
  8. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve hot and garnish with extra parsley, if desired.
