Step 1
Peel and thinly slice the 4 red onions. Heat the 2 tbsp olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Step 2
Add the sliced onions to the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until they are soft and translucent, about 8-10 minutes.
Step 3
Pour in the 6 cups water and add the 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Stir well.
Step 4
Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Simmer uncovered until the onions are very tender and the broth is slightly pink, about 20 minutes.
Step 5
Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed. Serve hot, optionally garnished with fresh herbs if you have them.
