I thinly slice 3-4 onions and let them cook slowly until they're reduced in volume by about 80% and are the sweetness of the onions comes out. Then I add good quality beef stock and let it simmer for an hour or so. Otherwise it's just a simple beef soup with onions - nothing wrong with that, it can be a great meal - but it's not a special occasion meal.
