Perfect for our damnable polar vortex up here right now! A couple thoughts - if you cook the onions slowly ("sweat") , some chemical rxns take place that give you better/new flavors, and after doing that, some sherry,cooked down au sec, will accentuate those flavors. And have you ever tried fenugreek in a carrot soup? Or thrown in a ringer, such as a parsnip just to give it a "what is that flavor with the carrots" kind of thing? Love to see what you're cooking!
