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)
  • 1 packet onion soup mix (recommended: Lipton's)
  • 8 slices French bread, about 1 inch thick
  • 1 cup shredded Gruyere

    I made this soup and it was very easy. I had looked at some of the reviews before I made it and seen that alot of reviews said u needed to carmalize the onions first. I did so with olive oil and let them cook for about 30 mins while i added the rest of the stuff to my crock pot but I also used both packs in the Liptons soup box. I thought it turned out great and I would make it again! Not to salty for me and had tons of flavor...Thanks Sandra

    So tasty and super easy. I followed the suggestions from others to saute the onions first. Crock pot on high for 4-hours was plenty of time to mesh the flavors.
