Slow Cooker French Onion Soup

If you love French onion soup but don’t love the time it takes to stand over a stovetop caramelizing onions for hours — this recipe is your solution. Using a slow cooker allows the onions to caramelize slowly and naturally, infusing the broth with that signature depth and sweetness.

Topped with crusty bread and bubbling melted Gruyère, this cozy classic is pure comfort in a bowl — with minimal effort.
