Do you think I could make now and can these for Christmas gifts? Your site says they keep in the fridge, but it’d be nice to have in the pantry… Thanks!! My local supermarket has onion .25/lb. I’m gonna go get 10 lbs today :D

Stumbled upon this yesterday & made it.
For a college kid (who can’t really cook) on a budget, I LOVED it!
Perfect for fall :)

Thanks for that, and for any readers that are having difficulty chopping onions without the tears, here's an incredibly easy tip - put them in the fridge for a few hours, then chop them straight away after taking them out! No more tears! I found some more onion soup recipes here if anyone wants to try some more variations.

The onion won’t make you tear up unless you cut the root end. That’s where the aroma that burns your eyes is stored. Also, I would LOVE to have the label you used. Is there a place to buy it or download it? Thanks so much for your wonderful blog!!!

I’m a late comer here, but I’m so glad to find this post about carmelizing onions for my favorite, French Onion Soup! Thanks for sharing the rcipe! My tip about slicing onions without tears is to do it under the hood of my stove. The fan pulls the fumes away from me and there are no tears. I also love the slicing gadget. I have a similar one from Williams Sonoma that I use all the time!

Sounds delicious. I use merlot instead of sherry. I just can’t get enough of this soup.

Oh..regarding the onions. After 1 onion I couldn’t stand it anymore. I went and grabbed my son’s swimming goggles. Yes I looked like a dork, but I did not tear up once! hee hee
