Processing my French Onion Soup as I send this comment. I am 71 years young been canning since I was a teenager. Learned from my Mom and Grandmother. I love your videos and have learned a ton from you. Thank you for your time, knowledge, patience, and pleasant personality.
I love this! Thank you 💕
Umm 3 cups?? You have used way more than 3 cups. I thought I would help so people didn't get confused
Hi Carol…love how you keep everything safe! Many thanks for that!
Thank you, just did the recipe, it's canning now.
12-11-2023 All set up to make 2 batches of this soup tomorrow. Have made it before and I really like this recipe the best. Thank you for sharing your method Carol.
Can't wait to try this, need to buy some wine, and then I'm ready. Thanks for all your effort at getting us ready to make this soup.
Looking forward to trying this recipe! I have this Ball book and have been making notes as I watch!
I have this in the canner right now… cant wait to have it on my shelf.. thanks so much Carol. You are my favourite canner by far
Another way to caramelize onions with no fat at all. Fill a slow cooker [Crock Pot USA?], with sliced onions, add 1/2" water. Set on low overnight. Awesome onions plus the bonus of the amount of onion stock it produces.
I use my roasting pan to keep jars hot. So easy !!!
Hello Carol. I made and canned this soup. I followed your recipe exactly. This was absolutely heaven! It is amazingly DELICIOUS 😋. Thank you so much for sharing. Thank you for taking the time to do these videos and always being safe. I appreciate you so much. I’ve canned several of your recipes and I’m not disappointed with any of them. Your baked beans are delicious as well……and better than Bush’s. I look forward to more videos from you. I’d love for you to do a strawberry jam canning recipe. Again, thank you 🥰
Perfect as always. Your subscriber numbers should be going up because you are a wonderful canning teacher. Always makes my day to see a new video :)
Stephanie C. Your sweet comments always make my day! Thank you for watching 💕
ABSOLUTELY RIGHT ON RECIPE. I made this last week, followed your recipe exactly. I was concerned on the wine as I never used it before, this was my first time opening a bottle with a cork!!! It did give that perfect flavor. I had just cooked down chicken breasts with bone in to can so I ended up with 1.5 gallon of broth, so used that for my liquid. I doubled the recipe, added the Better than Bouillon beef paste and salted at the end which didn't take much. Thyme and pepper go so well with beef. I bought chopped onions for ease, they come in 3 pound bags so I had 9 pounds of diced onions. One jar didn't seal so I ate it the next day. Just delicious. I'm going to make more and give as gifts.
@eckankar Loved your comment and all the details provided. Thank you
Will be trying this looks so amazing
This soup is the bomb!!! I didn’t make any changes and will be making more soon! Thanks for another great video😊
I love french onion soup. Looking forward to making this. Just love your canning videos, your expertise and confidence really shines through!
Being Barb thank you so much! 💕
I made your baked beans and canned them. They turned out absolutely excellent. I'm going to make this onion soup. If it's as good as the beans, it's going to be a hit. Keep up the great videos.
Thank you for watching 😊
In the canner as I write this. Sample taste before hand and taste fantastic! Thanks for the instruction.
I can’t wait to try this! Thank you so much❤️
You are so crazy organized, I must take lessons :)
Decided to try French Onion Soup, this has a beautiful finish and have decided this is the One! TFS
Thank you for making this tutorial...Im going to can some French onion soup and there are SO many videos and recipes on how to do it,that I was left dazed and confused.🤣
I wanted a great recipe with a deep flavor and yours seems to be perfect.Can"t wait to get canning,I'm subscribing to your channel.
I just came back for the recipe. I made this last year and it’s the best meal starter. Used it for Philly cheesesteak. It’s the bomb!
Thanks again for posting this.
I love French onion soup my family is not fond of it. I have never used chicken stock or kitchen Bouquet in it, but I put everything else in it. I use onion soup on my pot roast in the oven. I think that is would be easier, just open a can on top and no need to put water in. Easy for the husband and kid todo. LOL 😆 I will have to look for the kitchen Bouquet in the store I have never used it before.
I love using Kitchen Bouquet! It adds just the right amount of color and flavor, that like Carol says, to make your recipes richer! Love adding to beef broths, gravy, soups, roasts, etc... It's one of my pantry staples! You're going to love it! My daughter couldn't figure out why her gravy never got rich and dark like mine! I had such a Moma moment! Lol! But I thought she had seen me make it a million times! But now she knows the secret!
You can sub ACV for the wine. Also, the purpose of the butter is to caramelize the onions, which can’t happen properly if you add liquid before they caramelize.
I can’t wait to try this. I love French onion soup. Delicious 😋
Just made this today. Used a quart of chicken broth and rest with the Better than roast beef bouillon. I should not have added salt. Only used a teaspoon and that was too much. Lol learned my lesson there! Still good just a little more salt than I prefer. Got 9 pints. Definitely trying this again. Thanks Carol!!
I just used that Better bullion also, and I skipped adding any salt. I just checked that bullion and salt was the second ingredient listed- that may be enough hah?
Making this right now!!! Using the au jus I have from a brisket I cooked last week.
So so good. Had it for supper with a grilled cheese and then did it again for lunch the next day.
I finally made us tonight after we grew our own onions this spring. It is AMAZING! Thank you!
Now that I have watched this five times lol I am about ready to can but keeping some aside for supper for hubby and I. Bought crusty bread and gruyere yesterday. It is a chilly day in south Texas so this is perfect!!
Thanks again for another recipe! I currently have this canning. 😁
Looks amazing! Think it would be awesome poured over a pot roast before cooking instead of the dry onion soup mix!
@Linda Schneidewind YES! 😋
I just learning how to do PC and I love onion soup recipe !!! Thanks for sharing with us !!!
Omg! I'm so happy to find your channel. I'm new to canning. I had doubts I would really eat canned foods. HALLELUJAH! Insert THRIFTY CHIC HOUSEWIFE. Your recipes are amazing. I was totally sold once I saw the home canned "tea party" thanks for sharing your knowledge 🥰
I can hardly wait to make and can this. I love french onion soup. I haven't had any in a very long time. Tks!!!
Thank you! I will be making this within the next two weeks.
Better than Bouillon IS da bomb, AND it comes in veg, mushroom, onion and garlic varieties, too, although most of those I have to order. The vegetable is available in grocery stores, usually, and I have seen the onion one in my area, as well. A little adds soooo much depth and flavor.
I absolutely love your videos...thank you for putting yourself and your knowledge out there for all of us...
You are so welcome… thank you for the compliment 🥰
I’m making your recipe now and my house smells very good. I have the same Ball book as you have, but mine must be a different release date because mine calls for 1/4 cup of olive oil. I thought that might be too much so I went with your version of 1 tablespoon of butter. When my husband and I go to a nice restaurant and if they have onion soup on the menu he always orders it. He is looking forward to this soup. Thank you for posting it.
I adore this recipe. Going to make another small batch soon. I have been using it for roasts.
Sandra Welsh yes! It’s great for many things. I also used it in my recent video on Swiss Steak. You might want to try this as well 😍 ruclips.net/video/sU5KXmbbKec/видео.html. Just skip the caramelizing step ...
@@carol-thriftychichousewife6231 I made that, too. My husband loved it. Appreciate your videos.
I love your recipes. Please keep the coming. We are watching and recording. Love them. You can link any of them to me.
Perfect for a blustery day! Yummm!
Molly Joy YES! 💕
Thank you
Just heads up. I love your videos and you got me started on pressure canning but alcohol takes about 3 hours to cook out of food. I have had to research this issue due to a liver condition I have and I have always loved cooking with wine. I even bought powdered wine in hopes I can substitute liquid. Still researching.
Am in the process of finishing canning French onion soup. Just waiting for the pressure canner to wind down and came across your video. Wish I would have came across your French onion soup canning video before I started . Could not understand why my onions were not caramelizing. Kept waiting and staring and could not get the liquid to evaporate because I had the heat on a simmer. Will be doing it your way from now on . Thank you very much !
absolutely awesome. I love french onion soup. Thank you for sharing.
Can't wait to try this.
I just made this. SOOO GOOD. Thanks!
Looks awesome! Can't wait to try this!
I wish my family liked French onion soup. I’m sure yours is delicious! Have a great day, Carol! 😊
Aubrey Brumley can it in pints or half pints for a single serving?
Aubrey Brumley make it for yourself! It’s worth it even if it’s only for you 😉💕
I actually only can a combination meat stock instead of beef stock that I make with chicken and oxtails. I think it tastes better than just beef.
Can’t wait to try this❤
New to your channel. Trying to learn as much as I can. Just purchased the Nesco Smart canner…..and we love onion soup.
Love watching your videos!
AmyBeth thank you! 😍
I always love your videos (and your sweet fur baby too!!!) but I have sooooo many onions this year and I usually slice and dice them to vac seal and freeze for the year but then I saw your video. WHY have I never thought to make this?! French onion is my all time favorite soups. So I ran out and got the kitchen bouquet because I only have island browning sauce and I want to make it just like yours. Yesterday was a major canning and vac seal day, today is too. I’m currently waiting on my salsa to finish processing and I came back here to make sure I follow this to the letter!!! I enjoy provolone as my cheese but at least I’ll have the soup flavor of yours. You always have amazing recipes. I’ll come back and tell you if I did mine to a way I think you’d approve, lol. Based on your comment of the “long onions” I might cut my slices in half as well. Btw, do you remember where you purchased your sweater in this video? I’m in love with it and hopefully I can find the same one or something similar. Super cute!
Thank you for the sweet compliments 😊. I don’t recall where I bought my sweater, I’m sorry …
@@carol-thriftychichousewife6231 it’s ok, lol. And wow, so I canned five quarts of the soup yesterday and enjoyed a bowl for lunch today. I’ve made homemade french onion before but your changes to it made it so tasty!!! I’ll have to prevent myself from eating them all this month, haha
I love this recipe! Have started making this to can only to have fam want it for dinner! I have to can this when no one's home! Lol! But I'm going to add a bay leaf and some whats•this•here sauce as well! I'm out so this will need to be canned soon, but with hubby working from home, it's hard to get anything done! Lolz! Thanks for the bonus tips on how you make yours! Your Eyes were extra popping today! Beautiful Moma! Have a Great rest of your weekend! 🥰❣ Keeping all in my heart and prayers! Stay Safe!
Georgia Peach314 I love your comments, always make me smile! “Whats*this*here sauce” 😂🤣. And yes, it is hard to get things done when you’re being chased around the house by your hubby 😉😂. Thank you for the compliment, sweet Georgia Peach 🍑! Love and prayers to you as well 💕🥰🙏🏻
I am new to canning. I found several recipes online for french onion soup. I know about no dairy in canning but I thought the issue was with onions and I wondered why. I am so glad I found your video. Thanks for sharing that info! What is the cheese that is used on french onion soup? I've never had it but my mom likes it. Is it typically one kind of cheese or are there several cheese options? Can croutons be used in place of the bread? Thanks.
It’s Swiss or gruyere cheese. You can also use provolone. Yes croutons can be used
If you like the butter taste, add it when you heat it back up for eating.
Carol, do you think it would be okay to cut the slices in half before cooking? Love your videos!
Yes and thank you 😊
This looks like a great recipe. Question, how do you think adding mushrooms would work for this recipe? We love them and use this basic base for a lot of dishes but also add mushrooms.
Elizabeth Rowe yes, you can safely add mushrooms. I just checked processing times with NCHFP and you would be fine for the processing time for this recipe 😊
Awesome thanks!
This is my first time canning. I saved some of this soup out to try it was fantastic. Question about the canned soups. My jars are are a little more than a inch short of the top. What are the safety rules about how much liquid should be in the jars. Thank you so much for these videos they have helped me make the leap into canning and loved making this recipe. Can't wait to try some more.
Liquid loss or siphoning is common during the canning process. Ideally you want to be as close to proper headspace as possible but yours sound as though they are still fine. If they go much lower than 1-2” lower than the headspace required just consume sooner rather than later.
In my Ball 2016 book of canning and preserving on page 290, the recipe for French Onion Soup calls for 1/4 cup olive oil, do you think that is correct? I am confused now, please help!! Thank you , Carol
Verna Spiker I don’t have that book so I can’t confirm. Check to make sure it’s a canning recipe. They also include freezer recipes in their canning books and it can be easy to miss. It would also depend on how big the batch is... let me check their website also...
I just checked and there’s nothing listed. Just confirm it’s a recipe for canning and go with it. Their recipes are supposed to be tested so you should be able to trust it 😍
I noticed the same thing, the 1/4 cup of olive oil.
I have this book so I wanted to watch a video to get an idea of the process. There is a difference in the recipe in my book. It does not have any butter but it does have 1/4 cup olive oil.
There were errors in some printings of this book. The recipe I used is correct 😊
Carol, I had the same question. Is there a site that will list other errors in the different versions? Thank you
Well I ended up with about 9 pints and a bit more. I have no idea how that happened except I did weigh out my onions and added one more.
This looks amazing, would I be able to use a substitution for the wine, we have never bought wine and I would have no idea what to get.
Jennifer McQueen sure... just use the same amount of stock. If you want to try, I always use an inexpensive bottle pino Grigio, usually Beringer or Barefoot. It does add great flavor but it’s very good without also 😊💕
@@carol-thriftychichousewife6231 Thank you so much, we found one of the wines you recommended so I will be giving it a try. 😊
I was looking for a French onion soup canning recipe when I found your video. I was glad you were using the one from “The All New Ball Book of Canning and Preserving”. This is the recipe I had planned to use but wanted to see what recipe other canners were using before committing. Here is the problem. My book does not call for butter only 1/4 cup of olive oil. The rest of the recipe is the same. Do you think it was changed? My book has a 2016 date. Can you look and see what yours is. One of us needs to correct our recipe😊. Thanks
Hi! There are errors in that book in some printings of it. Mine is correct 😊
Thanks for a speedy reply!
Hello. Please tell me how long to process quart jars of this soup. Thank you
Hi, can i can the soup cold, or does it really need to be hot? thank you. btw... I already made it and it's delicious. This time I want to know if I can make ahead of time and process it cold.
I always process hot. But if you do it cold it needs to be cold canner with cold water, jars etc.
Hello again. I made your French onion soup
And it’s delicious. ?
My new Ball book has the same recipe but ,instead of butter it says olive oil. Also have a little fat set an on the top of the jar. It’s that ok. I made it with butter.
Ana Tedesco it should be fine. It’s interesting they changed it from butter to olive oil. But fat is fat. As long as you used the amount specified there are no safety issues 😊
I have the same ball canning book 2016 edition but I don’t see anything in the recipe that says butter can be substituted. Am I missing something? A new edition possibly? I made a note in my book to substitute 1 tbsp. butter. Im new to pressure canning and I’m just curious. Thank you! I love your videos.
There were some printing errors in that book. The butter is correct.
@@carol-thriftychichousewife6231 thanks so much for clarifying!
In the notes it says 75 min then when u spoke u said hr and half i believe could u please tell me which is correct. Thank you.
The notes are correct. I misspoke in the video. My apologies 😊
I'm not sure but I thought better than bullion was not to be used in canning for some reason. Does anyone know the answer to this? Thanks
Hi. Just wanted to know, we love onion soup, could we do 6 pounds of onions to the liquid instead of four and the recipe work for canning? Thanks ❤
Hi! Yes 💕
@@carol-thriftychichousewife6231 Ty! I will be making this!
I am wanting to make this recipe. I don’t drink so I have no idea about what things taste like. Can you recommend a couple of specific kinds for me to pick from. Love your videos and I have done quit a few of your canning recipes.
Pinot Grigio is my favorite and any brand will do nicely. Chardonnay or a dry Reisling are also good choices
@@carol-thriftychichousewife6231 what else is good to use if you don't use wine?
Could you use both chicken amd beef bouillon if you dont have either canned?
Stephanie Sullivan yes, absolutely 😊
I use my FOS like gravy on Mash Potatoes or Biscuits...really zips up the Taters
PS I was all set to do this recipe today but didn't have White Wine..
I have a stove that cooks with magnets so I cannot use a canner that sits on the stove. Do you ever use a plug in pressure canner such as the Nesco?
Technically electric pressure canners have not been approved by the USDA. Supposedly the manufacturers have done their own testing and claim they are safe. However the USDA does not recommend using their guidelines since they were developed using traditional canning methods
nchfp.uga.edu/publications/nchfp/factsheets/electric_cookers.html
Thank you for making this video. I’m confused, if you can help. I have the same canning book but on pg 290 it doesn’t say anything about using butter or adding the any wine from the get go. Curious why you made it different..pro’s/con’s. Again, thank you, it looks really good!
Apparently there are versions of the book with typos. I made this according to the exact instructions in the copy I have. So I didn’t change the recipe 😊
Oh wow, ok. Thank you for your quick reply, I appreciate it!@@carol-thriftychichousewife6231
Thankful for your video I am new at canning. I don’t have Dutch oven. Could I use my insta pot?
kaila snider hi! You can cook the soup however you choose but know that caramelizing your onions is important to the flavor. I don’t have an insta pot so I’m not sure how it works for that step 😊
Thrifty Chic Housewife thank you for the quick reply. I cann on the weekends. Do you or can you do a video on pie filling? There are so many different ways to do it. Clear gel? I want the safe way. Learning the right way of doing things. Oh FYI you are the reason I got the new ball book 😁 you are helping feed my family of 5. You are such a blessing in these hard times 🥫🥫🥫😍
kaila snider I’ll add pie filling to my list 😊
Would there be a problem if I chopped my onions instead of using them in long slices?
No
Hi I have question what other liquid can I substitute the wine?...Thank you 😊
Fran Wilson you can just use beef stock 😍
Can you just put in the jars and not can them?...I highly don’t think they would not last on the shelve they look delicious 😊
Fran Wilson sure... just be sure to refrigerate and enjoy within a week 😍
If you had to only have one type of onion for your pantry, which type of onion would it be?
Sweet yellow
We don’t drink so could you use a non alcohol dry wine
Just use more stock instead
Hello. Thank you for this! Where can I find this recipe, please?
Lori Salala I list the information in the description box below the video. Click on the arrow on the right below the video and it will open the description box 😊
ETA: I don't know what happened. The information shows on my cell, but I couldn't find it on my Mac. Thanks.
Lori Salala no worries 😉
Just an idea, if onions need help carmelizing maybe use tallow, lard, or coconut oil for more fat. Then when soup is done put in fridge overnight and skim off fat in the morning before canning 🤔
Thank you. Wondering if you’ve ever canned celery soup can you find a recipe that’s safe for canning. All the ones I found on RUclips have some sort of dairy.
thanks again
Ana Tedesco I have not canned celery soup for the very reason you mentioned, dairy. 😊
Can the celery on their own. Then just make the soup base and add, it’s great!
Hi I was wondering what I could use in place of the wine??
Tammy Dudley hi! Just use the same amount of stock instead of the wine 😊
@@carol-thriftychichousewife6231 thank you so much!!💖💖
My recipe for onion soup…not a canning recipe…uses beer. Can you use beer to can? Just wondering.
You could use beer in place of the wine
First! I am always extremely unsafe.......LOL
Allen Smith Hobby and Wargames 😂
Can I can dairy free milk in a recipe ?
I wouldn’t
Can you use a dry red wine instead of the white?
Yes 😊
@@carol-thriftychichousewife6231 thank you for your quick reply! I was hoping to make this today.
Can this recipe be doubled?
Yes
@@carol-thriftychichousewife6231 Thanks Carol!
Where is the recipe?
MRV Television in the description box as well as explained in the video
❤️🇨🇦
Yet we can chicken and it's mega fat
I dont understand the rules around fat- you can cann meat- chicken legs etc that has fat on it.....
Too much fat can interfere with heat penetration. I know, sometimes the rules make no sense. 😊
I love your recipes. Please keep the coming. We are watching and recording. Love them. You can link any of them to me.
