Beefy French Onion Soup
Got this one from a betty crocker cookbook. Changed it up just slightly for my family's taste. Very hearty and good when it is bitter cold outside.
Steps
Add onions and butter to a 5 to 6 quart crock-pot.
Toss to coat.
Top with bay leaves and beef.
Cover and cook on low for 9-10 hours or until the onions are deep brown in color.
Mix together the beef consomme , sherry , apple juice , and thyme in a bowl.
Pour into crock-pot.
Increase setting to high.
Cover and cook 10 minutes or until hot.
Take out bay leaves.
Spoon soup into oven-proof soup bowls.
Top each with a slice of toast and 1 / 4 cup shredded cheese.
If you want , broil 6 inches from heat source for 3-5 minutes or until cheese is bubbly and begins to brown.
