Now to reduce seven large onions and a leek over a medium heat for about forty minutes.
Tastes leagues better than anything out of a can.

Hey there, Goodbean-lioness fren!
I tend to be very, very picky about any food that includes onions cut from their original choppybeast form and made into a prepared cooked food, mostly because of my sensory-processing troubles (texture/chewing/swallowing).
My favorite food made from onions that still bear resemblance to an onion bulb are dry-fried, breaded onion rings/chips cooked in hot oil, just enough to crisp the cut onion so that it's firm and has no soft, crisp 'crunch' bite to it, but it doesn't have to be carbon-plasma scorched earth level of oil-frying for me to eat it; overcooking to hardening like that would be worse in the opposite direction.
I believe I understand that onion soup made from scratch, acknowledged at least in basics by your description of the soup-in-process simmering and cooking (and I assume with some physical reduction of the cut onion) on supplied, steady heat for 40 minutes, will involve the soup cooking process partly if not wholly breaking down the cut onion by simmer-reduction into the soup base and broth.
My question is twofold of them, Jaida, if I might beg both your digression on personal cooking preferences and your opine on how someone with my genera of sensory ability might go about safely trying homemade onion soup: 1) how do you prefer for your preference and tastes to cook onion soup to conclusion, as in partial or full reduction, or even none at all, and 2) are there multiple preparations with established variations on the basic onion soup recipe that you know of, and some of which might be better suited to someone who reacts adversely to the texture of raw onions in their food?
There are a lot of foods I enjoy now that I needed to take a leap of faith to do so- a leap from the lion's mouth, as it were- but what kept me away was my fear of reaction and not that my reaction would be poor or visceral, and in many cases was positive and bearing a great deal of relief for me that it was.
If you've interest in responding and time to drop me a line in response, I'd rather like to hear back from you and hear what you've to share with me, Mack Lioness. For now, as Picard and Data did in disguise on Romulus, there to find Ambassador Spock in TNG's 'Unification': "Enjoy your soup."
Happy Official Star Trek Day as well, into the bargain!
