I think it just deepens the flavors all around. The sauce tends to caramelize at the edges and the whole thing is just more rich, dark, thick and irresistible.

I hope you do!

denise — indeed the fog will return as it always does… ah, SF. And yes, it did smell great during the cooking, but the hour simmer was even better.

Sustainable Eats — Thanks for commenting! the soup really is delicious, and I bet would be delicious with some good walla wallas. Here in Germany I have a hard time finding sweet onions, and unfortunately some of my favorite recipes call for them. One of my favorites is sweet onions baked with a little butter, red wine vinegar, honey and dijon… mmmm….

I’ve had this same recipe printed out and on my counter for weeks now, just waiting for the first of the walla wallas to harvest. Thanks for verifying it’s worth the wait!

Although we are experiencing unusual warmth here in San Francisco today, I know the fog and chill will return soon enough, and when it does I will slow cook this wonderful onion soup recipe you’ve posted. I bet your house smelled so good as those onions mingled with the butter and salt for such an extended period of time! Sometimes I enjoy the wonderful smells of cooking as much as the finished dish.

Erin — I am definitely going to have to try your tomato sauce… have you ever tried adding meat? I wonder how the slow oven cooking would affect it (I am a sucker for bolognese sauce…)

Also, I am now dying to throw a cocktail party because of your last post! I can barely wait until I am back in the bay area…
