An onion soup, sometimes without tears

We all like to eat homemade onion soup with a crunchy cheese cap. But when it comes to the preparation, I'm alone. The reason - the watery eyes when cutting onions.

But I still like to prepare it. Have now gotten a tip from my neighbor, which makes the whole less tearful.

I peel the required amount of onions, then pack them in cling film and put them in the freezer for 15-20 minutes. Peeling is fast.


Then I take the onions out of the freezer and cut them into slices for the soup.

Previously, there was always the following problem, there are leek oils, which convert in conjunction with tear fluid to sulfuric acid.

This acid burned in the eyes and nasal mucous membranes, causing the eyes to react with increased tear fluid to flush out the acid. For this reason, always cut the "howling" at the onion.

Now there is tear-free onion soup and for other dishes, for which I need onions, I apply the tip also.

The onion soup was delicious and in future I will not have to cut the onions by myself anymore.% AMAZON%
