French Onion Soup

Ingredients

• 2 Yellow onions
• 1/2 tsp Garlic powder
• 2 tsp sugar
• 8 cups Beef broth
• 4 tbs Parmesan cheese
• 8 slices Swiss cheese
• 1/2 tsp Dried thyme
• 2 tbs Balsamic vinegar
• Pinch Salt and pepper

Directions

3. Spray a large pan with nonstick cooking spray. Add onions and 1 cup beef broth and garlic powder. Sautee onions until broth is completely evaporated, and onions begin to caramelize.
4. Add the rest of the ingredients (except for the parmesan and swiss cheese) to the crockpot and add onions. Turn crockpot on high for 4 hours, or on low for 8 hours, or overnight.
5. When ready to serve, sprinkle parmesan cheese in the soup, and ladle soup into an oven (or microwave safe) bowl/crock, and add a piece of swiss cheese on top. Place in oven, preheated to low broil , to melt the cheese. Leave in oven for 1-3 minutes, or until cheese is lightly golden brown. Alternatively, you could microwave the soup for 1-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melty! Serve with crusty bread.
