• Melt 4 tablespoons butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add leeks, garlic, shallots, and half of the onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are very soft and translucent, about 10 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium-low, and cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are deep golden brown, about 25 minutes.
• Add vermouth, stock, and 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer, stirring occasionally, 15 minutes. Let cool. Puree onion mixture in batches in a blender until smooth, about 3 minutes per batch. Set aside.
• Meanwhile, melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a medium skillet over medium-low heat. Add remaining onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is very soft and golden brown, about 45 minutes. Cover, and set aside.
• Return onion puree to saucepan. Stir in cream. Reheat over medium heat, stirring, until heated through but not boiling. Season with salt, if desired. Serve, topped with caramelized onions.

Steps:

• In a large heavy pot, heat oil over medium heat. Cut onions in half lengthwise, then slice thinly. Place sliced onions in pot and toss to coat with oil. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are softened and beginning to color, 30 minutes.
• Increase heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, uncovered, until onions are amber in color, 45 minutes.

Steps:

• In a large Dutch oven or other heavy pot, heat oil and 2 tablespoons butter over medium-high. Add onions, sugar, 2 teaspoons salt, thyme, and bay leaf. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook, stirring frequently to scrape up any browned bits, until onions are deep golden brown and have a jam-like consistency, about 1 hour. If onions begin to stick, reduce heat and stir in 1 tablespoon water.
• Discard herbs. Reserve 1/2 cup onions (leaving 1 3/4 cups in pot). Stir in 1 tablespoon butter, flour, and sherry and cook until butter is melted, 30 seconds. Add broth, increase heat, and simmer 15 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Rub bread with garlic, then place in bowls and ladle soup on top. Drizzle with oil and sprinkle with parsley.

Steps:

• Combine oil and onions in a pot over low heat. Cover and cook until very tender and soft, 30 to 40 minutes. Remove cover and sprinkle sugar over onions. Cook, uncovered, until onions are light brown, 10 to 15 minutes more.
• Stir Brussels sprouts and thyme into the pot. Pour in stock and season soup with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until sprouts are just tender, about 10 minutes.
• Allow soup to cool slightly. Blend to a smooth consistency using an immersion blender. Reheat gently, about 2 minutes, and adjust seasoning if necessary.
• Top each portion of soup with a spoonful of sour cream and a dash of hot pepper sauce.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large deep frying pan over a low heat.
• Add the onions with a generous pinch of salt and cook slowly for 30-40 mins. Stir occasionally to prevent them from sticking or burning until they become soft and golden. If the onions start to catch, add a splash of water to the pan and mix well.
• Add the sugar and vinegar to give them a sweet, slightly sharp chutney flavour. Keep cooking on a low heat for another 5 mins, stirring occasionally until the mix is sticky, the sugar has dissolved and the vinegar has reduced. The onions are now ready to serve, or use in a recipe.

Steps:

• In large saucepan, melt butter over medium-low heat and add onions.
