I dice up all the onions that I'm not going to use right away and put 2/3 cup of the chopped onions into ziplock bags. These bags go into the freezer until the onions are needed. I make a lot of soups and gumbos so the slightly limp texture is fine, and the taste is the same as fresh.
This also works for celery and bell peppers!

I also cut up onions and green peppers and celery and freeze. I like Frazzled Leslie's idea of including the Sausage and Bay Leaf. Wonderful idea, Leslie!

I too cut up extra onion to freeze. It's real handy to have it already diced to add to soups, casseroles, etc. Sometimes I thaw out ahead and other times I can throw in frozen and it doesn't matter.

Ann - I'm also from New Orleans. I take it an extra step and chop up my onions, celery, bell pepper and sausage and add a whole bayleaf. Put it in a ziplock bag and freeze. Doing this once a month or so, gives me a convenient packet to throw in Monday Red Beans with only one knife and cutting board to wash.
