Ingredients

  • 2 large onions, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons butter

  3. Sprinkle the flour over the onions and cook, stirring constantly, for 1-2 minutes.
  4. Slowly pour in the beef broth, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming.
  5. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 5-10 minutes, or until thickened.
  6. Stir in the heavy cream and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Remove from heat and serve hot over your favorite dish.
