2 tablespoons butter
2 cups boiling water

Peel and chop onions. Heat the butter in a saucepan, add the chopped onions and cook, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon until onions are soft.

Add two cups of boiling water. Simmer until all the water has boiled away and the onions are a soft puree.

Add the milk, reserving out 1/4 cup. Cook for 15 minutes.

Beat egg yolks and sugar with 1/4 cup of milk then add to the soup. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for a few minutes longer, stirring constantly.
