The food panties here get a LOT of onions from local farmers. I don't know how many we have, but I just processed 6 or 7 3-lbs bags, and the first picture is how many we have left after I was through. There was some shrinkage from rotten and sprouted bulbs, but most of them were still good. I didn't have the endurance to stand there and slice these, even with a mandolin slicer, so I blended them into an onion slurry in multiple rounds and cooked them down for a full 24 hours, first on the stove and then in the crockpot when I realized I couldn't be there all night. Today I added some Himalayan salt, cracked pepper, garlic, rosemary, paprika, red pepper flakes and beef bouillon. Then I ladled as much onto my dehydrator trays as would fit and we made soup with the rest. It was delicious, and we look forward to having French onion soup flavored dry seasoning to use on meats and side dishes. I'll post the final results when it's done in a few days.

    It looks delicious but let’s retire the phrase “I did a thing.”

    What’s the reasoning behind dumping the onions in a tub of water?

    Reminds of the time my stepmum chose a massive French style string of onions as a prize at bingo. Most people thought it was a good joke prize but considering most of the prizes (all donated) were random bath sets or confectionery, my stepmum’s thought was free actual food. The next day both her and my Dad had the doors and windows open and did a production style big batch cook of getting those onions cooked and frozen in 
     batches.
