The beauty of this French onion soup recipe is twofold – it’s dead simple, and it’s flexible. I actually made this and wrote it up over a year ago, but never published it, so I had the chance to make it again last week (#quarantinecooking) with a slightly different method to see if it was as good as I remembered. It is! It was partially inspired by this recipe, but I made a number of changes.
Having now made this in the slow cooker several times, I’ll never make French onion soup the traditional way again – all that time and work caramelizing onions on the stove is just not worth it. If you take the looooong slow-cooker way, you’ll be rewarded with ultra-caramelized onions and an incredibly deep and rich flavor – not to mention a delicate onion perfume throughout your house. If you’re not into onion perfume, or perhaps are looking to start this in the morning and have it ready for dinner later that night, then you’ll still be rewarded with a hearty and delicious soup with the faster slow-cooker way.
