Soups, Stews and Chili Recipe ∽ Slow Cooker Onion Soup

This is about the best onion soup I've been able to come up with. Tastes better than any restaurant onion soup I've ever had.

Ingredients

• ¼ cup butter, melted
• 1 large sweet onion (such as Vidalia®), cut into thin slivers
• 1 small red onion, cut into thin slivers
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 4 cups beef stock
• 3 tablespoons brandy
• 2 teaspoons soy sauce
• 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 2 cups Italian-style seasoned croutons
• 3 slices provolone cheese

Cooking Directions

1. Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir sweet onion and red onion in melted butter until softened, about 10 minutes. Cook and stir garlic into onion mixture until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a slow cooker.
2. Pour beef stock, brandy, soy sauce, and Worcestershire sauce into slow cooker. Season with salt and black pepper.
3. Cook soup on High for 4 to 5 hours.
4. Preheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
5. Ladle the soup into 3 oven-proof bowls; top with croutons and a slice of Provolone per bowl.
6. Broil in the preheated oven until cheese melts and begins to brown, about 3 minutes.
