French onion soup is one of my favorites in the soup club. Cheese, bread, caramelized onions. How can you go wrong here? I love, love, LOVE French onion soup but if I’m being honest it intimidates me a little bit. In walks my crockpot…
“This doesn’t have to be so difficult” she whispers to me. And that’s how this recipe was born. With this crockpot recipe, you are literally throwing everything in a pot and walking away. BYYYE, see you!
