3 lbs. Red onions, quartered through the root end and peeled
¼ c olive oil
6 large cloves garlic, minced

In a large soup pot, heat the olive oil over med-high heat, sauté 1 minute, add the tomatoes, bring to a boil, and reduce heat to simmer.
Cut root end from onions and add to tomatoes with stock and wine. Bring to a boil and then simmer for 40 minutes or until onions are completely soft.
