Slow cooker french onion soup
This is adapted from a recipe found here. It was incredibly easy and tasty. Definitely not vegetarian, but I'm sure you could make it that way by substituting mushroom broth and leaving out the Worcestershire sauce.
2 boxes (32 oz) beef broth (low sodium kind)
6 T butter
3 large, sweet onions
1/2 T granulated sugar
1/4 cup sherry (or dry white wine, which is what I used)
Worcestershire sauce
French bread
swiss cheese
Heat your slow cooker to high and plop your butter in to start melting. Slice the yellow onions into rings. Break up the onion slices with your fingers, and stir them around in the melted butter. Cook this way for at least an hour, possibly two. Check to make sure there's no burning.
Add the beef broth, sugar, a few splashes of Worcestershire sauce and sherry/wine. I used 1 1/2 boxes of broth for the amount of onions I had.
Cook on high for 6-8 hours or low for 10-12. It takes a while for the onions to get translucent and pliable
Before serving, slice bread and toast it to desired crunchiness. Put soup in oven-proof bowls, add bread on top and swiss cheese. Put in oven (I used broil setting) until cheese is melty and good.
