  • PREP TIME 15 Min
  • TOTAL TIME 5 Hr 50 Min
  • SERVINGS 8

 

Reynolds™ Slow Cooker Liners
Soup
3
large onions, sliced (3 cups)
3
tablespoons margarine or butter, melted
3
tablespoons all-purpose flour
1
tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1
teaspoon sugar
1/4
teaspoon pepper
4
cans (14 1/2 ounces each) ready-to-serve beef broth
Cheesy Broiled French Bread
8
slices French bread, 1 inch thick
3/4
cup shredded mozzarella cheese (3 ounces)
2
tablespoons grated or shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 1 Place Reynolds™ Slow Cooker Liners inside a 5- to 6 1/2 -qt slow cooker bowl. Make sure that liner fits snugly against the bottom and sides of bowl and pull the top of the liner over rim of bowl.
  • 2 In lined slow cooker, mix onions and margarine.
  • 3 Cover and cook on high heat setting 30 to 35 minutes or until onions begin to slightly brown around edges.
  • 4 Mix flour, Worcestershire sauce, sugar and pepper. Stir flour mixture and broth into onions. Cover and cook on low heat setting 7 to 9 hours (or high heat setting 3 to 4 hours) or until onions are very tender.
  • 5 Prepare Cheesy Broiled French Bread. Place 1 slice bread on top of each bowl of soup. Serve immediately.

Expert Tips

Serve food directly from the lined slow cooker. Once your slow cooker cools, remove the liner and throw away for easy clean up.

Here's some "broth math" to help you if don't have any ready-to-serve beef broth on hand. You can use three 10 1/2-ounce cans of condensed beef broth with 2 1/2 soup cans of water or 7 cups of your homemade beef broth. Or add 7 cups of water with 7 beef bouillon cubes or 2 heaping tablespoons of beef bouillon granules.

Vegetarians in your family? Use 4 cans of ready-to-serve vegetable broth instead of the beef broth. The color will not be a rich, deep brown, though, so Golden French Onion Soup may be a more appropriate name!

    I love this recipe, AND the reviewers, Handy, Dandy HINT @ cooking onions overnight w/Paper Towel doubled on top*!* Totally rockin tip, y'all*!* For the person who found the red wine too strong, A) probably needed to be decanted first or B) my tip, which is always to use the cooking line of wines & sherry's, so smooth and perfect flavors! We're not drinkers, so it's easier to have these & also, not expensive! Cooking Sherry is THE Secret Ingredient in Chicken Pot Pie*!* ENJOY**

    I made this according to recipe and was beyond disappointed. It was thin and so bland that after a few bites I pushed my bowl away. The rest of my family felt the same so I threw the entire pot of soup out.

    This is wonderful. Better than some restaurants. Flavors blend very well together. I followed the recipe word for word. I will probably use more onions next time as I love love love carmelized onions. I was so anxious to try this recipe I cooked it on the stove. I just could not wait. Next time I will be patient and do it in the slow cooker. Either way you make it it is a winner. I will be serving this quite often this winter.
