In a large stock pot with a heavy bottom, melt butter with olive oil over low heat until frothy. Add onions, salt and black pepper and sauté slowly, stirring frequently, taking care not to let onions brown, until they are completely soft and tender, about 1 hour.
- Step 2
Add wine, turn heat to medium, and simmer until reduced by a half (about ½ hour). Add heavy cream and cook over low heat until reduced by a third (about ½ hour).
- Step 3
Transfer soup in batches to a food processor or blender, and purée until smooth. Transfer soup to a large, clean pot, return to serving temperature over low heat, and season to taste with salt and black pepper. Serve in bowls, garnished with a sprinkle of chives, and croutons, if desired.

4/20/26. Made as written, I imagine the kind of white wine one uses has an impact of the end results. Served over a crusty. toasted sourdough bread. Itg was good but not great.
