This Easy Slow Cooker French Onion Soup Recipe is really EASY, super EASY. The only hard part is cutting all the onions so you might want to get some goggles out, burn a candle, or do whatever you need to so your eyes don’t burn. I like to just cut a few at a time while getting the other ingredients out.

    I replaced 2 cups of broth with 16 ounces of water and 2 tsp of better than bouillon sautéed onion flavor. I think it adds more depth to the soup. Delicious recipe.

    I am quite an avid cook. I followed the recipe. I will tell you the truth. It was horrible. I literally poured it down the sink. I had to start my dinner completely over. Luckily I had 2 filet mignons available. Very disappointed….but it happens.

    My onions were still not cooked after 9 hours so we had to sauté them

      They weren’t cooked in 9 hours? Wow, mine were definitely cooked. Might possibly be if the onions were cut really thick or difference in temperature in the slow cookers.
