Crock Pot French Onion Soup

French Onion Soup is a classic comfort dish that becomes even easier to prepare when made in a crock pot. Here’s a simple and delicious recipe to try:

Ingredients:

  • 4 large yellow onions, thinly sliced

  • 3 tablespoons butter

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar

  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

  • 2 tablespoons flour

  • 8 cups beef broth

  • 1 bay leaf

  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme

  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • French baguette, sliced

  • 2 cups grated Gruyère cheese

Instructions:

  1. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced onions and cook until they become soft and translucent about 10 minutes. Add the brown sugar and balsamic vinegar, stirring occasionally, until the onions are caramelized and golden brown, about 20-25 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.

  2. Sprinkle the flour over the onions and stir to coat. Transfer the onion mixture to the crock pot.

  3. Pour in the beef broth and add the bay leaf, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.

  4. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. The longer the soup simmers, the better the flavours will meld together.

  5. Preheat your oven’s broiler. Ladle the soup into oven-safe bowls. Place a slice of French baguette on top of each bowl and sprinkle generously with grated Gruyère cheese. Place the bowls under the broiler for a few minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
