Cut the meat into small cubes. Heat the fat, brown the meat, add the very finely chopped onions, and lightly brown. Add water or broth several times and reduce until the onions are completely cooked. Season the soup with salt and pepper. Add the tomato paste and simmer gently over low heat for about 1 hour. Season again to taste.
