After you simmer for 20 minutes remove the onion, garlic and chiles to the blender and pour the stock into a separate container. Blend the mixture until smooth.

Add olive oil to the pot and heat up. Add the diced onion, pinch of salt and cool until browned. Retune the stock back to the pot and reduce by half.
