Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 1 minute.

  2. Step 2

    Add the sliced onions and stir to coat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until deeply golden and caramelized, 12-15 minutes. Onions should smell sweet and jammy.

  3. Step 3

    Pour in the broth and add the raisins. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes until raisins plump.

  4. Step 4

    Stir in the red wine vinegar and season with salt and pepper to taste.

  5. Step 5

    Ladle soup into bowls and scatter toasted pine nuts and fresh parsley on top.
