Swirl up a single serving of French onion soup?

Add olive oil to a saute pan over medium heat.

Cook, stirring gently, until the onions start to soften.

Season with salt and pepper.

Reduce heat to medium-low.

Continue to cook onions, stirring every few minutes.

If they start to stick, add a splash of stock or water, and continue to stir.

Cook until a deep golden brown, approximately one hour.
