French Onion is actually one of the easiest soups to make at home, and I wish more people knew that! I like it with the cheese browned and crunchy (almost burned!) on top, but always make extra cheese-toasts to serve alongside for dipping or just snacking. Can't go wrong with a good soup on a cold day! Thanks for this one!

TIP: PLACE SOME PEELED ONIONS IN SOME COLD WATER FOR ABOUT 5-10 MINUTES TO AVOID TEARS 100% WORKS

[@chellepatino1675]

You cry when you peel them too...

[@janinecox256]

Or wear goggles

[@fathimabilal3611]

You can keep them in cold water b4 peeling it works really

[@abdullahbellomuhammed7144]

To avoid onion tears, do not remove the root of the onions when preparing them. It's a nice tip I got from Gordon Ramsay master class☺️👍👍

[@Natashaskitchen]

Thanks for sharing!

[@vilimjankovski5292]

Actually doesn't work that well, instead just don't breathe through your nose. It's more difficult not to breathe with your nose intentionally but if you manage it you won't get any tears for at least 3 or 4 onions.

[@kristyoconnor3880]

Contact lenses.. no tears 99%

[@arga4321]

I have an amazing no-tears onion cutting secret: Put the onions in the freezer for 20 minutes (leave the onion skins on). They won't be frozen yet and will no longer make you cry when you cut them. It is one of my best kitchen secrets.

[@life_is_beautiful03]
