Yesterday I made this onion soup for my family and the ENTIRE pot went so quickly. Rarely does that happen around here. I will admit that this is a lengthy process but super easy to make. You just have to be patient but it really does cook itself. The results are worth the wait of the cooking time. Bon Appetit!
Ingredients
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
Freshly ground black pepper
10 cups beef broth
3 tablespoons cooking sherry ( I used a little more)
To Serve
1 1/3 to 2 cups grated Gruyere cheese (1/3 cup per bowl)
Chopped shallot or fresh onion
- Season the onions: Place the onion slices in a 5-quart (or larger) slow cooker. Stir in the butter and olive oil, salt, and a generous quantity of black pepper.
- Cook on LOW for 6 hours: Cover and cook on LOW overnight or for 6 hours. The onions should be dark golden brown and soft.
- Add broth: Stir in broth and cooking sherry
- Cook 2 hours on LOW: Cover and continue cooking on LOW for 2-4 hours. This is flexible; as long as your slow cooker holds moisture well (wrap a towel over the lid if quite a lot of steam escapes), you can cook the soup for hours. Longer cooking will only intensify the flavors. Taste and season with more salt and pepper if desired, and stir in the brandy if using.
- Portion the soup into oven-safe bowls: Heat the oven to 350°F. Ladle the soup and onions into oven-safe bowls and place the bowls in a baking pan.
- Top with toast and shredded cheese: Top each bowl with a slice of toast and a generous quantity of shredded Gruyere cheese.
- Bake for 20 to 30 minutes: Bake on a rack in the upper third of the oven until the cheese is completely melted.
- Broil for 2 to 3 minutes: Turn the oven to broil and broil the soup for 2 to 3 minutes or until the cheese is bubbling and browned. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes.

I have been using Ebates for over a year now. Basically, I installed a “button” on my computer so that when I visit an online shopping site, Ebates reminds me (via pop up window) to click on their logo to get my cash back. The idea behind Ebates is that you shop at your favorite online retailers, you earn cash back on your purchases and Ebates sends you a check or Paypal. It’s THAT EASY!!!! Ebates earns a commission from the retailers (and there are a ton who participate), every time you shop with them via Ebates and they share it with YOU (no fees, charges, etc)!!!! When I signed up I thought I would never see a dime. Honestly, I am here to tell you I have received a few hundred dollars cash back. I am not kidding, you have to try it for yourself….your link to sign up is HERE to get your own button. Happy Shopping!!!!
Today’s Book Club Monday choice is a cannot put down book….I am absolutely loving this book…it is The Silent Wife by Kerry Fisher. Here is the amazing story:
I am so excited to introduce you to the company Navy Jane. All of the Navy Jane clothing is so adorable, cute, preppy, and sporty all at the same time. The best part is Navy Jane is available in sizes s-3xl so no-one is left out. My favorite item is the Emily and I LOVE the green with navy trim. The company’s founder Lauren, who is just a sweet as her designs, sent me 2 beautiful dresses. I was so impressed when I opened them. The quality is amazing. And the fit is perfect. I encourage you to check out Navy Jane, you will not be disappointed!!!!
