Categories: Slow Cooker

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp butter, cubed
  • 2 large sweet onions, halved and thinly sliced
  • 1 large red onion, halved and thinly sliced
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 2 cans (10.5 oz. each) condensed beef broth, undiluted
  • 3 cups water
  • 3/4 cup white wine or beef broth
  • 2 fresh thyme sprigs
  • 1 fresh parsley sprig
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 2 tsp Worcestershire
  • 16 slices French bread
  • 3/4 cup shredded Gruyere

Directions

  1. Place butter in a slow cooker. Top with sweet and red onions, then sprinkle with pepper. Cook, covered, on LOW until the onions are tender, 5-6 hours.

  2. Stir in broth, water, wine, herbs and Worcestershire. Cook, covered, on LOW until flavors blend, 2-3 hours. Remove herb sprigs and bay leaf.

  3. To serve, preheat broiler. Place bread slices on a baking sheet; broil 4 inches from heat until lightly toasted, 1-2 minutes per side. Top bread with cheese; broil until cheese is melted, 1-2 minutes. Divide soup among 8 bowls; top with cheese toasts and serve immediately.
