Ingredients

  • 5 small onions, thinly sliced
  • 2 cans (14 ounces) low sodium beef broth (recommended: Swanson's)
  • 2 cans (10 ounces) beef consomme (recommended: Campbell's)

    Absolutely LOVE this recipe!!! I did change a few things the second time I made it, however: I did not use a slow cooker. I added 1 T of butter and cooked onions in a skillet until tender (about 20 mins. on medium heat. While the onions were cooking, I combined broth, consomme, water and soup mix in a large pan and cooked on high for 15-20 mins. Afterward, I added the onions to the broth and served. It turned out delicious!!! Thanks for the ideas Sandra Lee!!! This recipe is a keeper!!!!!!

    I have made this several times. My husband love it. I saute the onions the night before. I cant see putting them in raw. In the morning I just dump everything into the crock pot and come home to a delicious meal.
