Time 10h20m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 large onions, thinly sliced
2 Granny Smith apples - peeled, cored and chopped
½ cup butter, divided
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 cups chicken broth
1 ½ cups apple cider
2 tablespoons brandy
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon white sugar
½ cup shredded Gouda cheese
6 (1 inch thick) slices French bread

Steps:

  • Set a slow cooker on Low, and put in half of the butter to melt. Add the onions and apples; cover and cook on Low for 6 to 8 hours.
  • After the cooking time is up and apples and onions are soft, pour in the brandy, chicken broth and apple cider. Set the slow cooker to High and cook for 1 to 2 hours, until simmering.
  • Preheat the oven broiler. Mix together the cinnamon, sugar and remaining butter. Spread onto one side of each slice of bread. Place bread cinnamon side up on a baking sheet, and broil until toasted, about 3 minutes. Remove from the oven, flip the slices over so the cinnamon is on the bottom. Sprinkle Gouda cheese on the top and return to the broiler until the cheese is melted.
  • Ladle soup into serving bowls and top with slices of toast, cheese side up to serve.

Tips:

  • Use sweet onions: Sweet onions, such as Vidalia or Walla Walla onions, have a milder flavor that is perfect for onion soup. They will caramelize beautifully and add a rich, sweet flavor to the soup.
  • Caramelize the onions slowly and patiently: Caramelizing the onions is the key to a great onion soup. Take your time and cook the onions over low heat until they are golden brown and very soft. This will bring out their natural sweetness and flavor.
  • Use a good quality beef broth: The beef broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality broth. Look for a broth that is made with real beef bones and has a rich flavor.
  • Add a splash of white wine: A splash of white wine adds a nice acidity and depth of flavor to the soup. If you don't have white wine on hand, you can use a little bit of lemon juice or vinegar.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different toppings: Onion soup is a classic dish, but there are many ways to customize it to your own taste. Try topping your soup with croutons, grated Parmesan cheese, crumbled bacon, or even a poached egg.

Conclusion:

Onion soup is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed all year round. Whether you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal or a special occasion dish, onion soup is sure to please. So next time you're looking for a comforting and flavorful soup, give this recipe a try.
