Slow Cooker French Onion Soup

French Onion soup is a classic and easy to make in your own kitchen. If you have a slow-cooker (crock pot) cooking the onions will be simple. This recipe is from the Southern Living test kitchen and it is fantastic!

Here is what you will need:

Bowls that are safe for a 450 degree broil

Ingredients:
2 pounds of Vidalia onions, thinly sliced - about 8 cups
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1.5 tsp granulated sugar
1.5 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
6 thyme sprigs, tied together with kitchen twine if you have it ( I did not)
1 bay leaf
5 cups of low sodium beef broth
1 TBP of sherry vinegar or red wine vinegar
slices of French bread - I needed 2 per bowl
6 oz. of Smoked Gruyere cheese
