Slow Cooker Healthy French Onion Soup

Servings 6

Ingredients

  • 4 cups Onions, thinly sliced about 6 onions or 2lbs total.
  • 3 sprigs Thyme
  • 2 tsp. Black Pepper
  • 2 tbsp. Butter
  • 5 cups Beef Bone Broth You can use regular beef broth too.
  • 1/4 cup Dry White Wine, optional
  • salt, to taste
  • 2 cups Whole Grain Baguette Cut into cubes and toasted
  • 1.5 cups Cheese Gruyere, swiss or mozzarella

Instructions

  • Place the onions, thyme, pepper and butter in a 6 quart slow cooker. Turn the setting to low and let them go for 7-8 hours. The onions will become carmelized.
  • When the onions are soft and carmelized, remove the thyme sprigs. Add in the beef broth and wine. Turn the slow cooker to high for another 2 hours.
  • Just before the soup is done, taste for salt. Add as desired.
  • Make croutons for soup. Simply cut a whole grain baguette or your favorite bread into cubes and place under the broiler for a few minutes. Watch it because bread burns easily.
  • Make sure you put your soup into a ramekin or bowl that can go into the oven. Top each soup with some croutons and a 1/4 cup of cheese and place it back under the broiler. Let the cheese melt and get bubbly. Enjoy!
