Crockpot French Onion Soup

Making French onion soup in the crockpot will

save you the trouble of watching and stirring

the onions while they carmelize on the stovetop. 

I've adapted my favorite recipe for 

French Onion Soup for the crock pot. 

Add the onion slices to the crockpot 

along with the seasonings. Cover and 

cook on high for 6 hours. 

 The important step is to let the onions cook

 until they are golden brown and caramelized.

This gives the soup depth of flavor that's lacking

if you just dump everything in the crock pot. 

 Now you add the beef broth, sherry, bay leaf, 

and Worcestershire sauce. 

Cover and let cook another hour. 

Toast some slices of French bread.

Laddle soup into oven-proof bowls; top

with bread slices, add a little more

soup, then top with cheese.

 Sprinkle a little paprika on top. 

Broil for several minutes until the

cheese melts, bubbles, and turns

golden brown. I love the crispy-gooey

pieces that stick to the sides of the bowl. 

 Yummy-yummy!
