Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large onions, thinly sliced
- 4 cups beef broth
- 1 cup white wine (optional)
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Baguette slices
- Gruyere cheese, shredded
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook them slowly, stirring occasionally until they turn golden brown and caramelized (about 20-30 minutes).
- Transfer the caramelized onions into your crockpot.
- Pour in the beef broth and white wine (if using), then add sugar, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
- Cover the crockpot and set it to cook on low for 6-8 hours.
- When ready to serve, ladle the soup into bowls. Top each bowl with a slice of baguette and a generous sprinkle of grated Gruyere cheese.
- Place the bowls under the broiler until the cheese is bubbly and golden. Serve hot.
Notes
For a vegetarian version, use vegetable broth and swap Gruyere with Swiss cheese. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for 3-4 days or frozen for 2-3 months.
