This rich and flavorful Slow Cooker French Onion Soup simmers away all day in your slow cooker...
Okay, I know what you all are thinking- Soup?? A slow cooker soup?? But it is JULY, lady!
Yes, I am aware that we are all smack dab in the middle of the summer heat here. I get that soup isn't normally a go-to dinner idea for the month of July. And yes, I will totally be curling up with a bowl of this rich and delicious Slow Cooker French Onion Soup when the temperatures start to drop and the snow starts to fall (far away from now in like December-ish or something). But who says that soup just has to be a fall/winter thing anyways? I have always been one to rebel a little against the conventional, so today I am sharing a slow cooker soup recipe with you all. ;)
I break out my slow cooker a lot during the summer months. Why? Because I hate turning on my stove or oven when it is hot outside! Even with the air conditioning going, my kitchen still heats up to an almost Hades-like temperature. So, I get out my slow cooker & make roasts, and pulled pork, and chicken for cubing and shredding for recipes, and taco meat, and yes, even soups.
Strangely, french onion soup happens to be one of my husband's favorite soups. I say strangely because he pretty much hates onions on anything. But french onion soup? He loves. Granted, he only eats the broth, croutons, and cheese and leaves a huge mess of onions in the bottom of his bowl... ;)
This Slow Cooker French Onion Soup requires a little extra prep in the beginning, but the little bit of sauteing and caramelizing this recipe requires is well worth it for the rich, amazing flavor it gives this classic soup...
