French onion soup must be canned using a pressure canner. The recipe consists of caramelized onions, beef broth, and seasonings. Once it is prepared, add it to canning jars, leaving a one-inch headspace. Then pressure can the jars to seal them. Canned French onion soup can last for up to two years. That’s my interpretation of the National Center for Food Preservation’s guidance, and that’s what I’m now doing in my house.

The thing is, onions need to be cured properly before storage so they’ll develop a protective papery husk, and dry out their wet stem that’s liable to mold otherwise.They’re harvested large, so there’s still plenty of onion left after the curing process dried out the outer layers.Not many people have the time these days to spend hours making soups, stews, and casseroles and if we’re being frank, many of these dishes can become quite expensive to make too.

But know that your soup will be better if you slice them finely.Croutons: These crispy bread pieces add a crunch that contrasts nicely with the soup’s silky texture.

This is done by topping the croutons (or breadcrumbs or toasted slices) with grated cheese.
