Crock Pot French Onion Soup Recipe is so easy to make, and it tastes just like the restaurant version! YUMMM. Making this in slow cooker really simplifies the process, and the result is just as good. I love French Onion Soup with a side salad or a starter for a meal. Be sure to listen to the video for substitution and preparation tips.
Recipe is as follows;
3 pounds onions (sliced) – use what you have a variety is fine
3 Tablespoons of Butter
Salt and Pepper to taste
Place the onions, butter, and salt/pepper in the crock pot on low for 10-12 hours.
Then add;
7 Cups of Beef Broth
1 Cup of Red Wine
1 Tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
1 Tablespoon Vinegar (choose from basaltic, red wine, or rice vinegar)
1/2 Teaspoon dried Thyme
Cook another 2-4 hours on low in slow cooker.
Then serve into oven proof dishes and to the top add;
Croutons (a light covering over the top – see the video for details)
Cheese – slices or shredded – provolone, mozzarella, or swiss is best. (You can also do a combination of cheese – see the video for details)
Finally broil in the oven to melt the cheese:)
