Instructions:
-
In a large Dutch oven, melt 1/3 cup of butter over medium heat, and cook the onions until they turn a rich, dark golden brown, which should take around 15-20 minutes.

Pour in the dry sherry, allowing it to infuse the mixture with its aromatic essence.
-
Add both the chicken and beef broth to the Dutch oven, stirring gently to combine all the flavors seamlessly.
-
In a separate medium saucepan, melt 2/3 cup of butter, then gradually stir in the all-purpose flour, creating a roux. Cook and stir the mixture until it achieves a light brown hue.
-
Incorporate the flour mixture into the onion and broth mixture, stirring continuously to avoid any lumps from forming.
-
Pour in the cream, and bring the soup to a gentle boil. Allow it to simmer for an additional minute, ensuring all the flavors meld together beautifully.

Season the soup with salt and pepper, adjusting to taste preferences.
