Guinness French onion soup


  • Author: Lisa
  • Yield: 4 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 yellow onions, sliced thinly
  • 1 stick of butter
  • 1 32-ounce carton of beef broth
  • 1 10-ounce can of beef broth or consomme
  • 1 can of Guinness
  • 1 tsp. of salt
  • 2 tsp. of salt, divided
  • 2 tsp. of thyme
  • 1 demi-baguette
  • 1 cup of shredded Irish cheddar

Instructions

  1. Coat a Crock Pot with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. Place the onions and the stick of butter in the Crock Pot. Stir in the salt and the pepper. Cook on low for 8 hours.
  3. After the onions are cooked, stir in the 32-ounce carton of beef broth, and the can of Guinness, and the thyme. Taste the broth. You may need to add more salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Optional: Taste the soup to see if you like the flavor. If you want a beefier broth, you can add the 10-ounce can of broth or consomme. If you like the soup the way it is, you don’t have to add the can.
  5. Heat the soup in the Crock Pot for 15 – 30 minutes until warmed through.
  6. Place four oven-safe bowls or ramekins on a baking sheet. Ladle the soup into the bowls, leaving at least one-half inch of space at the top of the bowls.
  7. Preheat your oven to the broil setting. Slice the baguette. Place 1-2 baguette slices on the top of each bowl of soup. Sprinkle the cheddar evenly on top of the baguette slices.
  8. Broil for 4-5 minutes or until cheese is melted. Carefully remove from oven and serve.

Enjoy!
