This isn't a stupid question. One choice may be between whether you 
want a brown or a white based onion soup.
For some onion soups, check this file in the FOOD section of the 
Florilegium:
onion-soups-msg   (23K)  4/ 3/02    Period onion soups.
http://www.florilegium.org/files/FOOD/onion-soups-msg.html

For some other soups, see:
soup-msg          (97K)  4/ 3/02    Medieval soups. Cooking soups at 
events.
                                        recipes.
http://www.florilegium.org/files/FOOD/soup-msg.html

I believe this last file has some good info on scaling up soup 
quantities and suggestions on cooking them in large quantities. 
Especially if you are new to cooking for large groups, you might want 
to take a look at some of the files in the FEASTS section.

Some other soup files include:
broths-msg        (72K)  2/17/03    Broths in period recipes. 
Substitutions.
gazpacho-msg       (8K)  7/30/01    A soup or sauce of vinegar, garlic 
and bread
mustard-soup-msg  (13K)  4/ 3/02    Mustard soup. HE Salaamallah's 
version.
