This crock pot French onion soup is really delicious. Slow cooking enhances the flavors of many dishes and this French onion soup is no exception.

With most French onion soup recipes, a cheese-covered crouton sits on top of the soup and is baked or broiled until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown. This crock pot French onion soup recipe is different because the cheese is placed on the bottom of the serving bowl and then the soup and croutons go on top. Use a chopstick or your spoon to swirl the cheese around so it flavors the soup with delicious, melted strands.
If you are going to be out all day, set this easy French onion soup cooking before you leave the house and you will get home to a wonderful smelling kitchen and a meal which is all ready to eat. It takes about five hours to cook, so anything between four and six hours should be fine.
