Number Of Ingredients 4

3 lb large onions, peeled and thinly sliced
1/2 c butter, melted
6 slice french bread, cubed
4 c chicken broth

Steps:

  • 1. Place sliced onions in crock-pot.
  • 2. Pour in butter and mix to coat onions thoroughly.
  • 3. Stir in cubed bread.

  • 5. Cover and cook on low for 10 to 18 hours or on high for 4 to 5 hours, stirring occasionally.
  • 6. Stir well during last hour.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality beef broth. This is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a broth that is flavorful and rich. You can use homemade beef broth or a good quality store-bought broth.
  • Don't skimp on the onions. Onions are the star of this soup, so be generous with them. Use a variety of onions, such as yellow, white, and red onions, for a more complex flavor.
  • Caramelize the onions slowly. This step takes time, but it's worth it. Slowly caramelizing the onions will bring out their natural sweetness and flavor.
  • Use a good quality cheese. The cheese is another important ingredient in this soup. Use a cheese that melts well and has a sharp flavor, such as Gruyère or Swiss cheese.
  • Serve the soup with a crusty bread or croutons. This will help to soak up the delicious broth and add a bit of texture to the soup.
