Love French onion soup and it's easy to make, but the onions take patience sort of like a roux. Take Zach's advice above.
Cook the onions until they are very rich in color. Takes a while, but rich in color = rich in flavor. If you liked your result, then you will LOVE it with the dark onions and ditch the Kitchen Bouquet. It's not needed for FOS.
I float some fresh thyme in mine and I use sherry and/or brandy or a red wine in it, also. Sherry is my favorite flavor in it, though. Goes really well with FOS. I generally use more onions than a recipe calls for to get a more intense flavor. They cook down to nothingness.

I make mine differently in one respect. I use the Alton Brown method.
Instead of sauteing to the light tan color in your pic I burn the hell out of it for an hour until it gets dark and carmelized. Therefore no need for Kitchen Bouquet and the flavor is more intense.
