Onions freeze well (unless you were to use them in a salad ie raw).
ETA you can pretty much freeze any vegetable if it's going in a soup

i saw a bag for sale at Reduced to Clear.
so it must be possible.

Good idea, and probably reduces the tears when cooking (but not when cutting!)

I chop and freeze onion a lot, so easy to throw into soup, no defrosting neccessary!
