Prep: 15 min | Total: 9 hr 50 min | Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

Equipment

Reynolds™ Slow Cooker Liners

Soup

3 large onions, sliced (3 cups)
3 tablespoons butter, melted
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon pepper
4 (14 1/2 ounce) cans 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

Instructions

Place Reynolds™ Slow Cooker Liners inside a 5 to 6 1/2 quart 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.

Soup

In lined slow cooker, mix onions and butter.
Cover and cook on HIGH heat setting for 30 to 35 minutes or until onions begin to slightly brown around edges.
Mix flour, Worcestershire sauce, sugar and pepper. Stir flour mixture and broth into onions.
Cover and cook on LOW heat setting for 7 to 9 hours or on HIGH heat setting for 3 to 4 hours or until onions are very tender.

Cheesy Broiled French Bread

Place 1 slice bread on top of each bowl of soup.
Serve immediately.

Notes

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!
