I made soup in the slow cooker yesterday. I started it before diving so when we returned from diving we had warm yummy french onion soup. I tried to take step by step pictures but trying to take pictures of anything in my slow cooker insert is almost impossible. All this pictures turned out too dark.
I thought I would share the recipe even if I don't have step by step pictures. Notice the instructions are if you have a slow cooker insert that is stovetop safe. If you do not, just use a pot.
INGREDIENTS
6 tablespoons butter
4 large yellow onions, sliced and separated into rings
1 tablespoon sugar
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup cooking sherry
6 cups reduced-sodium beef broth
4 sprigs fresh thyme
2 bay leaf
1 teaspoon sugar, can be omitted
1 loaf French bread, sliced and toasted
1 cup freshly shredded Parmesan cheese
1. Heat butter in slow cooker insert over medium-high heat.
5. Add sherry and scrape the bottom of the pot to release the brown bits.
