1 Melt butter in an 8 quart stock pot on medium heat.
Add olive oil and stir. Add onions and continually stir
until tender and translucent. Do not brown the onions.
2 Add beef stock, sherry and thyme. Season with salt and
pepper, and simmer for 30 minutes.
3 Ladle soup into individual, oven safe, serving bowls
