For a vegetarian option, substitute vegetable broth for beef stock. A splash of dry sherry can be used in place of brandy. For a more intense onion flavor, caramelize the onions for a longer period, watching carefully to prevent burning. If you don't have oven-safe bowls, you can melt the cheese on the crouton-topped soup in a skillet under the broiler.
