I have always wanted to know how to make French Onion Soup and now I do! This tastes just like it's supposed to. It's a perfect recipe! The only problem I had was trying to keep from crying while I chopped all those onions! Made for ZWT5 - Epicurean Queens

Delicieux, Sauge!I love recipes like this where you can freeze it so now I have 6 huge portions set aside for when life gets busier (or I get more tired?). I deglazed my pan with some merlot and later used merlot for STEP 11. I used Beef Stock which yielded me 5 cups of stock and then made some beef cubes/boiling water for rest of stock. I also used unsalted butter. I mixed the bay leaf, worcestershire, thyme, salt, and pepper in with the onion prior to pouring on the hot stock-just thought it would stir in easier. Used slices from French Bread Rolls for the bread portion. This recipe did not fit into my crock pot so simmered it in my stock pot on the stove instead. If it was a half recipe it would have fit into my slow cooker. I even put some of this into Crock Pot Beef Burgundy b/c I did not have a 12 ounce can of beef broth for that recipe (can had 10.5 ounces). Merci Sauge for sharing your wonderful recipe and also the helpful hints about using the food processor for slicing the onions. Made for my French jaunt during ZWT5 for the Chow Hounds.

MMMMMMM!! This was very good!! And a crockpot just makes it so simple! Never thought about freezing French Onion soup, but I bet this would freeze really well! I'll have to try that next time. Thanks so much! Made for ZWT4 Family Picks for the CAFE ZMAKK Gypsies!

Yummy! I made with sweet Vidalia onions. This soup is so good and I love that it is made in a crock pot. Made for ZWT4 Family Picks for the Tastebud Tickling Travellers.
