Slow Cooker French Onion Soup Recipe
Thank You Spend With Pennies for a great recipe.
It’s all about the bread and cheese… all soaked in that rich herby onion broth and then broiled until the cheese gets all hot and bubbly. Scooping up the first bite of that ooey gooey cheese is like a little taste of heaven.
Ingredients:
- 3 large white onions, sliced
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 64 oz Beef Broth (I use reduced sodium)
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- ⅓ cup dry sherry
- 4 sprigs fresh thyme (or 1 tsp dried Thyme)
- 1 Bay Leaf
- 8 slices dry french bread
- ¾ cup Gruyere cheese, shredded
- ½ cup Emmental cheese, shredded
- 6 tablespoons fresh parmesan cheese
Instructions:
- In a large non-stick pan, cook onions, butter and brown sugar over medium low heat until golden and caramelized. (About 20 minutes).
- Once golden, add to the slow cooker along with remaining ingredients except bread and cheeses.
- Cook on low for 6-8 hours.
- Remove and discard bay leaf and ladle the soup into bowls. Top with dry bread slices and cheeses. Broil 2-3 minutes or until cheese is melted and browned.
Notes
If you don’t have dry bread, slice your loaf and dry it in the oven at 300 degrees for about 5-7 minutes. Cool completely.
