½ cup unsalted butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 cups sliced onions

Directions:
Directions:
Peel the onions cut in half then slice
It takes awhile, so if you have a food processor with a blade that slices, that will save you a ton of time

Crying ? try opening the freezer door and leaning your head inside a bit
This helps the allisin enzyme dissipate faster so your eyes stop tearing

Saute over low low heat the onions with the olive oil and butter
Cook until you have just a small layer of golden brown onions The natural sugars will caramelize. You can add some sugar too, after the onions start to cook down

Add the broth and the thyme
Cook for another 30 minutes. Adjust the flavors with salt and pepper
