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.

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.

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!

For the onion tears I turn the faucet on while I’m cutting or handling the onions and it works. Even if I forget and in the middle of chopping them I’m reminded I forgot to turn water on (because by then I’m crying 😂) I run the water and it stops. This is how I know it is for sure the running water doing the trick 🥹. Some people say a glass or cup of water right by you also helps.

Just made this soup for lunch! I must have used too high heat while sautéing the onions, because they were definitely overcooked.. only had white wine instead of red wine too. But even with the overcooked onions this soup was very good! I will try it again soon with red wine, and cooking the onions at a lower heat. Thanks for the recipe!
Great recipe. Turned out spectacular!

I made this today, tweaked it a hair. I added 1 full cup dry Sherry, 1/2 cup white wine Pinot Grigio. Let all the booze reduce. I used better than bullion beef, 8 cups. Let those onions reduce! Everything else the same. Best French onion I have ever ate at a restaurant or I ever have made. I used provolone and Gruyère cheese to finish the dish. Great! Thank you! 👍

This was perfect to make at home, was restaurant quality, and the best part was that my husband and I could each top our soup with our own cheese! I had Gruyere while he topped his with a non-dairy cheese. Rich and flavorful! (Also, super easy to cut the recipe in half for 2 people.) Thank you!
