🛒 Ingredients

✓ 4 large yellow onions, thinly sliced
✓ 2 tbsp grass-fed butter
✓ 6 cups low-sodium beef bone broth
✓ 2 cloves garlic, minced
✓ 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar

✓ 1 cup grass-fed raw cheese, grated

1. Heat grass-fed butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add sliced onions and cook for 35-40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until deeply caramelized and golden brown.

2. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Deglaze the pot with apple cider vinegar, scraping up browned bits from the bottom.

6. Remove from broiler, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve immediately.
