While making the soup I did not believe that it would taste like restaurant French onion soup. Given time to cook it surpassed my hopes! Loved it!! Changes- used boullion cubes(Mccormick beef stock-7 of them) made it a bit salty for some but I liked it Did not do the bread and cheese part and it was perfectly fine and rich without that.

    Everyone requests this recipe all of the time. I copied it for someone and lost my copy. I'm glad I found it again. Thanks, Michele

    Excellent soup! We were hankering for french onion soup and this was wonderful; even my boys, aged 3 & 4, loved it. Instead of the crock I simmered on stove top for about 2 hours. Also added 1 tsp. of sugar as I didn't use all sweet onions. We melted swiss and jarlsberg cheese on top and used crusty french bread. Can't wait to make it again. Yum!

    I made this for tonight's soup course, since French Onion is my all-time favorite. I didn't use a slow-cooker, just simmered it on the stove for a couple of hours, and it was fantastic! As a low-carb'er, I skipped the bread but didn't miss it: this soup is just so yummy on its own! A definite keeper. Thank you!
