Crock Pot French Onion Soup (print)
Provided By: Kelly
Description:
Ingredients
3 pounds onions, which is around 6 large onions
1/2 cup (4 oz) butter, melted
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup dry sherry wine
8 cups beef stock/broth
1 bay leaf
salt and pepper to taste
French bread or Baguette
Gruyere cheese, shredded (best place to find this is Aldi's)
Directions
1. Slice onions thinly. Place them in the slow cooker. Add your melted butter and stir well so all onions are coated. Put this on low overnight, 10 - 12 hours.
2. Add the garlic. Stir sherry into onion mixture; scrape the bottom to dissolve the small bits of browned food.
3. Throw in bay leaf, salt/pepper and broth. Stir well. Cook on low for 8 - 10 hours or on High for 4 - 6 hours.
4. Preheat oven to 400ºF. Slice bread to 1/2" thick slices. Brush both sides lightly with olive oil. Arrange on a baking sheet and bake 6 - 8 minutes until golden brown at the edges.
5. Once bread is out, set oven to 'broil'.
6. Pour soup into oven safe bowls. Sprinkle the top with a bit of your cheese. Lay the bread on top and sprinkle the rest of the cheese on top. Broil for 2-3 minutes until cheese topping is lightly browned and bubbling.
