This mouth-watering dish is the result of Mom's overnight slow cooker cooking of three pounds of onions.


3 pounds of finely chopped yellow onions

2-tbsp melted unsalted butter

olive oil, 2 tablespoons

half a cup of balsamic drizzle

two thyme sprigs that are fresh

Beef stock, 8 cups

1.5 cups of Gruyere cheese, shredded

To taste, season with salt and pepper.

Half a cup of brandy is optional.

Garnish with crispy bread cubes

Making Savory Delights Easy:

 

Add the onions to the slow cooker.

Toss in some olive oil and butter, then add some salt and pepper.

Keep it on low heat for 10 to 12 hours, or until the onions turn a golden color.

Blend in the balsamic vinegar, thyme leaves, and beef stock.


Cover and simmer for a further 6-8 hours. Taste and season with salt and pepper; brandy is optional.

Set the oven temperature to 350°F, or 180°C.

Arrange the bowls of soup on a baking sheet after spooning them with the soup.

Toasted bread and Gruyere cheese provide a lovely garnish for each plate.

Wait 20 to 30 minutes in the oven until the cheese melts. Broil for two or three minutes longer to get a golden crust.

Enjoy a hot cup of soothing French onion soup as soon as it has cooled somewhat. You can rest assured that this dish will warm your spirit and satisfy your hunger thanks to the harmonious blend of caramelized onions, fragrant broth, and luscious cheese. Have fun!
