I have an awful time with onions. I'm delighted to have an onion soup recipe that is made from scratch and all natural. Do the sunglasses really help? I have an awful time with onions.

This is SO dramatic. However, I utilize my Cuisinart to slice the onions which helps tremendously. I also wear sunglasses (which my kids love) while I am slicing and I rinse the onions right before I slice them which seems to help. I do cry while I am preparing the onions. This is SO dramatic.

YIKES.. You might as well watch a sappy movie while you're doing all that crying, cutting, etc. Actually, you could really write for a food mag. (in your spare time, of course) I was going to nominate you for a "I love your blog", but I thought I'd send you the leg lamp instead. LOL. Blessings. 10 pounds of onions!!??? YIKES..

You do like to make a large batch, don't you! But I am guessing from your name that you have a lot of people to feed ;) One thing you can do to speed up the cooking time is to start with about a quarter cup of water in the pot, and crank the heat. The steam helps the onions release their own moisture faster, which starts the browning process much sooner. You just have to remember to reduce the temperature once the water has evaporated, or the onions will start burning. Wow! You do like to make a large batch, don’t you!
