A few months ago, I found this recipe for French Onion Soup (made in the Crockpot!) on Pinterest. I had to change it slightly (I didn't have enough beef stock - oops!) But it still came out delicious!
I'll post my slightly edited version of the recipe or you can use the link above. It was very easy, but has a few more steps than most Crockpot recipes, so it's best to save for a weekend day.
Enjoy! :)
INGREDIENTS
¼ cup (1/2 a stick) unsalted butter
4 medium onions, halved and thinly sliced
2 tsp. crushed garlic (we always have some in the fridge)
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons brown sugar
½ teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons flour
1 can beer
2 cups beef stock
~1/2 cup water if needed
1-1/2 teaspoons dried thyme
½ teaspoon pepper
bread, rolls, or crutons (we had leftover rolls I used)
Shredded Gruyere and/or Swiss cheese
DIRECTIONS
Turn on your slow cooker and set to high. Add butter and let melt. Add onions, garlic, vinegar, brown sugar, and salt. Mix well. Cover and let cook for 1-1.5 hours, stirring every 15 minutes, until onions begin to turn brown. Stir in flour, allow to cook for a couple minutes then stir in beer and beef stock and water a bit at a time, stirring well between each addition to avoid lumps. Stir in thyme and pepper. Cover and cook for 6-8 hours on low. Taste and season with additional salt, if desired.
To serve: Top with cheese and serve with bread either on top or on the side. (Our rolls didn't fit well in the soup...)
