Cream of Guinness and Onion Soup: Unusual But Fun

I had a six pack of Guinness and lots of onions Will bought to support his boss's Masonic temple. I figured, why not use both to make soup?
This is pretty simple and straightforward. All you do is caramelize a pound of onions and a Tablespoon of brown sugar in 2 Tablespoons of butter. Once they are nice and caramelized, you pour in 12 ounces of Guinness, some Worcestershire sauce, some green hot sauce to taste, 6 ounces of water, and a little bit of ketchup. It sounds weird, but it works, somehow. Bring it to a boil and let it simmer for twenty minutes. Meanwhile, heat up some cream; once it's warm, mix it into the soup and stir.
I was surprised at just how good this was. I thought, since it had all these unusual ingredients it was going to taste nasty. In actuality it was pretty good; the sugar sweetened up the Guinness, and nothing overpowered anything else.
