Not sure how I get homemade french onion soup at home by buying it in a retail jar?
Homemade French Onion soup is easy to make at home and cheap - cheaper than this. It's been awhile, but you chop up a lot of onions - onions are $3 a bag, and you only need 1/3rd to 1/2 a bag for this, and caramelize them in a pan with some butter till they turn brown and are sweeter. Then add some chicken broth or turkey broth (and or beef broth), that you've been saving back since the last time you cooked either (and is free), add some water if it's too thick, add garlic and pepper if you like, and spices to suite tastes, and let cook slow for (20-40?) minutes on stove top. Put in bowls, and add some toasted bread and cheese on top.
That's it. Easy, cheaper, and actually homemade. Also I've never seen french onion soup that is red like this one.

As a Type II Diabetic (and I'm hardly alone in this these days) I'm so tired of companies putting sugar in their product. If we want/need sugar we can add it after the fact. Tape a pack of sugar to the lid if you must, but once it's in there we can't eat it. Heck tape a pack of salt to the lid too for those with blood pressure issues. This jar is PACKED with salt. Can you imagine?? If companies included "optional" salt and sugar for each product. Cans of Chili? Spaghetti Sauce? It would go a long way towards the world's health and medical bills, lol.

Agreed. A lot of companies will offer a reduced sodium option or sugar-free option (but separately, not a single product that reduces salt AND sodium). But they really should be doing this as a matter of course. Sodium doesn't bother me so much but I don't know why everything has to be ruined with excessive sugar.

"not a single product that reduces salt AND sodium" You might want to edit that sentence... 🤔

You conveniently skipped over the part that caramelizing onions properly takes 40-60 mins, with some intermittent stirring. And not only that, but you'd need a huge pan with a large bottom. Those are the facts that deter people from making French onion soup. You can make things a little easier by caramelizing on a large baking sheet in the oven. That'll requiring less stirring but it still requires some stirring.
We're currently experimenting with caramelizing in an air frying oven. That requires no stirring since hot air surrounds the onions. Only problem is that you can't add liquids to the mesh basket and there's no fond to deglaze. Our next experiment is try a baking sheet instead of the basket in the air fryer.
Regardless, it's not as easy as you imply, and the time commitment means that I'll happily stick with this Rao soup.

Brought to you by Rao's. No not any retail soup will do, Rao's is the only one that will save you from the impossible task of making onion soup. -- I hate the fakeness of the posters on here tied to promotion and money. There should be enforced laws against dishonest commercial promotions.
BTW I made onion soup right after I posted the original post a few days ago, following exactly how I said to make it. It was 4 times as much as one can of this, and probably 1/8th the cost - two dollars as opposed to 16 dollars. Let me clarify my recipe - until they start to turn brown. You're not trying to burn them into little brown bits of former onion. You are just trying to sweeten them while leaving those nice chunks of onion still there.

You don't even need to time it. The taste will change to sweet. Look up any of a thousand recipes on making onion soup.
