How to chop onions without tears in a blender

Holly's Hint

Winter is a time for soups and stews.

To save time & mess when cutting up onions, celery, green pepper, or to even shred up carrots. Try this...

For chili I cut the onion in quarters, & celery stalks in half & place in my blender.

Then I pour in the V8 juice to the top of the veggies. Turn the blender on & off in short bursts to chop up the veggies.

Now I just pour the juice & veggie mix into my pot that I am making the soup in, add the other ingredients and start it cooking.
