Maura's French Onion Soup

"This crockpot version is elegant, but inexpensive and very easy to put together -- my husband loves it! I usually serve mine with a salad & freshly-baked loaf of bread. Lots of other French onion soup recipes seem to call for an extreme amount of butter, but I've found that 1 or 2 tablespoons, along with some well-browned onions, will yield a lovely rich flavor."

directions

  • Cook the onions in butter over medium/low heat for 20 minutes or until browned.
  • (You want the onions to be a golden color, but NOT black!) Remove from heat, and set aside.
  • Mix sugar, flour, a few dashes of pepper& rosemary, and 2/3 cup of the wine into a paste mixture.
  • Add this to the onions, and mix well.
  • Put the onion mixture into the crockpot.
  • Add broth and bay leaves.
  • Stir soup mixture very gently. (Stirring doesn't have to be overly thorough... just enough so that the onions are no longer a paste.)
  • Cook on "high" for 2 1/2 hours.
  • Add soy sauce, buillon cubes, and remaining 1/3 cup of wine.
  • Cover and continue cooking for 30 minutes.
  • Ladle into soup bowls and enjoy!
