CROCKPOT FRENCH ONION SOUP 🧅🧀🥖 I love using my crockpot for soups because it is SO much easier, so I tried making my French onion soup recipe in my crockpot, and it turned out so so well, and you don’t have to stand over the stove stirring onions for hours! NOTES: This takes about 6 hours to make in the crockpot, so I always start the soup around lunchtime so it’s ready in time for dinner. This recipe serves about 4-5 people! I also love using beef bone broth in place of normal beef broth because it is higher in protein and makes the soup more filling! INGREDIENTS: - 6 sweet onions or vidalia onions - 1 tbsp butter - 1 tsp brown sugar - 1 tsp salt + 1/4 tsp pepper (add more to taste) - 2 tbsp all purpose flour - 32 oz beef broth (I use bone broth to add protein) - 3 large pieces of crusty white bread (I use sourdough) - 4 oz shredded gruyere cheese - Diced green onions or chives for garnish (optional) HOW TO: - Slice the onions in half then into thin half-moon slices. - Add the sliced onions, butter, brown sugar, salt and pepper to your crockpot. - Set the crockpot to ‘high’. - Stir the onions every 30 minutes or so. They will start to soften, then will start to turn light brown, and eventually will become caramelized and a deep golden color. This takes about 3-4 hours, so just stir every 30 mins-1 hour! - Once the onions are very soft and caramelized sprinkle over 2 tbsp of flour and stir for 1-2 minutes (the flour helps thicken the soup). - Add the beef broth and stir until well combined. Taste and add extra salt + pepper to taste. Place the lid on the soup and let it come to a simmer - this takes about 30 minutes. - While the soup is heating lightly toast the bread and cut into 1-2 inch squares. Shred the gruyere cheese. - Once the soup is very hot give it one last stir, then arrange the bread floating on top of the soup. - Sprinkle over a layer of cheese then cover with the lid for 5-10 minutes until the cheese is melted. - Garnish with diced green onions or chives, serve and enjoy! 🫶 #frenchonionsoup #souprecipe #fallrecipe #cooking #dinneridea #healthyrecipes #easyrecipes #soup
