Crockpot French Onion Soup

My dear Husband loves Crockpot French Onion Soup. Every time we take a cruise he looks forward to the evening they serve French Onion Soup.


Since we sadly do not have a cruise on our schedule right now I figured I would try my hand at making his favorite soup.

Well you know I had to give it my own spin and make it in the crockpot.

So without further ado...Crock Pot French Onion Soup

One of the best things about this slow cooker French Onion Soup Recipe is how easy it is to make. The only thing you do that is not in the slow cooker is cooking the onions to make caramelized onions on the stovetop. You can also do this in your slow cooker if you have one that is a multi-cooker.

This recipe only takes a few ingredients including sliced onions, butter, sugar, and broth. When the slow cooker French Onion Soup is done you will want a few bread slices and good cheese to broil over the top to finish it off.

Ingredients

  • Butter
  • Onions
  • Sugar
  • Beef broth
  • french bread
  • Gruyere cheese or Swiss cheese

Recipe Tips

The hardest part of this entire recipe is chopping up the onions. They always make me tear up and have red eyes for a while. Let me know if you have any ideas on helping stop crying from onions.

Amazon sells French Onion Soup Bowls that look great! They also have this set of French Onion soup bowls with handles that look fun.

When you put the soup bowls in the oven to toast the bread and cheese make sure to put them on a baking sheet. This will make it a lot easier to remove them from the oven.

What are the best onions to use for French Onion Soup?

I like to use regular white onions for Slow Cooker French Onion Soup. Sweet onions tend to make the soup a bit too sweet for us.

Can you make Vegetarian Slow Cooker French Onion Soup?

Yes, You can switch out the beef stock for vegetable stock.

    My husband makes a wicked french onion soup. I never order it out, because I am always disappointed with the taste. We will have to give your crock pot version a try.
