French Onion Soup - Slow Cooker

3 pounds onions, which is around 6 large onions ...I weigh

1/2 cup (4 oz) butter, melted

2 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 cup dry sherry wine ...this can be omitted if you don't have it

8 cups beef stock/broth

1 bay leaf

1/4 tsp dry thyme (or 3 sprigs fresh)

salt and pepper to taste

Baguette sliced or use French bread or Croutons

8 oz of Gruyere cheese, shredded, divided (check recipes if you wish to use Gruyere and combine with another cheese or two - you can use any combination of Gruyere, Mozzarella/Swis/Parmesan
Directions:
Directions:
1. Cut onions in half, and slice thinly. Place them in the slow cooker. Add your melted butter and stir well so all onions are coated. Put this on low overnight, 10 - 12 hours.

2. Add the garlic. Stir sherry into the onion mixture (Sherry is optional); scrape the bottom to dissolve the small bits of browned food.

3. Throw in the thyme, bay leaf, salt/pepper, and broth. Stir well. Cook on low for 8 - 10 hours or on High for 4 - 6 hours. I did a combo of that ...when I needed it to be ready, I went with it. After all the onions are cooked ...the rest is just melding.

4. Preheat oven to 400ºF. Slice bread into 1/2" thick slices. Brush both sides lightly with olive oil. Arrange on a baking sheet and bake for 6 - 8 minutes until golden brown at the edges. I did about 8 minutes ...flipped the bread and did another 2 minutes.

5. Once the soup is out, set the oven to 'broil'. 6. Pour soup into bowls..3/4 full or so. Sprinkle the top with a bit of your cheese. Lay the bread on top ...and sprinkle the rest of the cheese on top. Broil for 2-3 minutes ...until the cheese topping is lightly browned and bubbling.
