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
Directions
Combine onions, broth, consomme, and soup mix in a slow cooker. Cook on HIGH setting for 4 hours, or LOW setting for 8 hours.
Ladle soup into serving bowls. Top with a slice of French bread. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons cheese over each bread slice. Put soup bowls under broiler until cheese is melted. Alternatively, place the bread on a baking sheet and top with cheese; broil until cheese has melted, about 30 to 40 seconds, and set on top just before serving.

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.
