- 3 medium yellow onions, thinly sliced
- 3 medium red onions, thinly sliced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 4 T. butter
- 2 T. balsamic vinegar
- 2 T. brown sugar
- 2 T. corn starch
- 3 qt. beef, turkey, or chicken stock — I used homemade turkey stock
- 2 tsp. dried thyme
- 1/2 tsp. black pepper
- Salt, to taste
- French bread
- Swiss cheese, sliced
Turn your slow cooker to HIGH, then add the sliced onions, minced garlic, butter, balsamic vinegar, and brown sugar; mix until combined. Cover and cook in the slow cooker for 60 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are softened, sweet, and brown on the edges. Add the corn starch; stir thoroughly and let sit for 5 minutes. Add the stock, thyme, and pepper; turn the heat to LOW, cover and cook for 6-8 hours.
Before serving, cut the french bread into slices. Fill soup bowls to the top with the onion soup; cover the top of the bowl with a slice of bread and a couple of slices of cheese. Set the bowls under the broiler for 2-3 minutes, or until cheese is bubbly and golden brown. Be careful when serving as bowls will be hot!
