2 Tips for Slicing and Cooking the Onions
1.
Sharpen your knife:Managing the tears while slicing onions is probably the hardest part of this recipe.
(One piece of advice before you get going on the onions:sharpen your knife.
I did this the last time I made this soup and couldnt have been happier.
The cleaner and quicker slicing wasnt just more efficient.
It also limited my exposure to those tear-inducing onion fumes!)

The slow cooking builds wonderful flavor and is well worth it.
Taste the stock before adding it to the pot, and double-check you like it.
