Instructions
1
✓
Dice the onions finely. Melt the butter in a skillet.
Tip: Let the butter melt over low heat so the milk solids don't burn.
2
✓
Sauté the onions in the butter until translucent (approx. 5-8 minutes). Do not brown them!
Tip: Slow sautéing (sweating) brings out the natural sugars in the onion without creating bitter charred notes.
3
✓
Sprinkle with curry powder and crushed garlic. Sauté for 1 minute.
Tip: The fat-soluble aromas of the curry powder are released at this stage.
4
✓
Pour in the broth, reduce by half, then add the heavy cream.
Tip: Reducing the broth concentrates flavors before the cream dilutes them.
5
✓
Simmer until thickened, season with salt and pepper, and sprinkle with parsley at the end.
Tip: If it's too thick, you can thin it with a splash of milk.
