“I love to prepare this soup when the weather turns crisp," writes Joan Hallford from North Richland Hills, Texas. "It tastes like it has simmered away all day on the stove, but is ready in less than half an hour. It's become a real family favorite.”

Tip

No More Tears

To reduce tears while cutting onions, freeze onions for 20 minutes before chopping. Also, use a very sharp knife when chopping onions and chop quickly. You can save both time and tears by chopping many onions at once. Freeze the extras in an airtight container for up to 3 months. (Before sauteing, thaw the onions and pat them dry. Frozen chopped onions can be added directly to soups or casseroles.)
