Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup dry sherry

- 1 tablespoon whole wheat flour
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions:
| Step | Details |
|---|---|
| 1. | In a large, heavy stockpot over medium heat, pour in the dry sherry and allow it to bubble, releasing its flavorful essence into the pot. |
| 2. | Add the thinly sliced onions to the pot, reducing the heat to medium. Allow the onions to cook slowly, stirring them frequently to ensure even caramelization. This process may take at least 20 minutes, during which time the onions will soften and begin to form a luscious paste. |
| 3. | Incorporate the minced garlic into the pot, continuing to cook for an additional 5-10 minutes until the garlic takes on a golden-brown hue and fills the kitchen with its irresistible aroma. |
| 4. | Sprinkle the whole wheat flour over the onion and garlic mixture, stirring well to ensure it is evenly distributed. Allow the flour to cook for approximately 2 minutes, melding with the other ingredients to create a flavorful base for the soup. |
| 5. | Carefully pour in the vegetable broth, stirring continuously to prevent any lumps from forming. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Allow the soup to simmer for 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and develop into a harmonious union. |
| 6. | Season the soup with ground black pepper and salt to taste, adjusting the seasoning according to your preference. The addition of salt enhances the savory notes of the soup, while the pepper provides a subtle hint of warmth. |
| 7. | Ladle the piping hot soup into individual serving bowls, creating a comforting oasis of flavor and aroma. |
| 8. | To elevate this classic dish, float a slice of toasted bread on top of each serving, allowing it to soak up the flavorful broth and adding a delightful crunch to every spoonful. |
