French Onion Soup

This recipe is SO easy!  A little prep the night before & let it sit in your crock pot all day.  An easy supper for busy schedules & it tastes delicious!  Absolutely one of our favorites!

3 lb. bag of white onions, thinly sliced (we'll mix in red if we have some sitting around too)
32 oz. beef broth
2 cans beef consomme
1 pakcket onion soup mix
1 beef bouillon cube
8 slices toasted french bread (or we often use regular sandwich bread)
1 cup gruyere cheese, shredded (a sliced smoky provolone works too since gruyere can be expensive!)

In crock pot, combine onions, beef broth, consomme, soup mix, and bouillon cube in crockpot. *We will prep this the night before and let it sit in the fridge until morning.  Heat on LOW for 8 hours (or high for 4 hours).

When ready to serve, heat broiler to high.  Ladle soup into bowls & top with bread and then cheese.  Place under the broiler until cheese is melted.  Enjoy.
