directions

  • Heat the oil in a large dutch oven over medium heat. Add onions and salt; cook, first tossing with tongs, and when they begin to wilt, stirring occasionally with a spoon, until pale golden brown and very soft, about 35 minutes.
  • Stir in the flour and cook, stirring occasionally, until the flour is lightly browned, about 2 minutes.
  • Transfer the onions to a 5 or 6 quart slow cooker. Add thyme sprigs and pepper. Pour the broth over the onions. Cover and cook until the flavors are blended 4-5 hours on high or 8-10 hours on low. Discard thyme sprigs when done.
  • Combine the cheese and thyme leaves in a bowl. Spread the cheese mixture over the bread slices. Ladle the soup into bowls, top each serving with a bread slice.

  1. This is an absolutely delicious soup -- my entire family loved it. So easy - the long simmer in the crockpot definitely added to the flavor development
     
  2. This soup turned out great! I thickened it a bit with some wondra flour at the end and also added some kitchen bouquet for color and flavor. It is rich and satisfying. I'm sure I'll make again. Thanks for posting!
     
  3. Yum yum! This was super good! Made it as posted and wouldn't change a thing. Thanks!
     
  4. The soup was very flavorful & super-easy to make. I did the entire recipe in the crock pot--I caramelized the onions on high about 4hrs, then finished the recipe on low about 4 more hours. The cheeses can also be adapted per preference (I like Mozzarella & Parmesan). Will make again!
     
  5. Although I'm not a fan of onion soup, I made this recipe (Well, I actually made half a recipe!) for my other half, who loved it! It was tasty, I thought, but not something I'd have made just for myself! But, that's not what's important! What is, is that the person I made it for loved it & insisted on the 5 star rating or else, so . . . Who am I to argue ~ You got it! Thanks for sharing, what apparently is a great tasting onion soup! [Made & reviewed for one of my adopted chefs in this Spring's PAC]
