Slow Cooker French Onion Soup
.jpg)
I made this fantastic recipe for a big batch of onion soup that You can freeze in portions to use later. Serve this with a lovely red wine and salad and voilà for a romantic meal. These are 14 large servings so if you are serving this before a meal reduce the amount of soup in your bowl.
