"Surprizingly good--even my husband, who is a french onion soup snob, liked it. I was surprized that a french onion soup could be this good from a crockpot. I used a quality brand beef stock, I added s..." See moreome fresh ground pepper when I sauteed the onions/garlic and I made my own homemade croutons. Next time, I think I would use all sweets and maybe add one more onion but that's honestly a personal preferance, not a reflection of the recipe. I'd make this again."

"This was tasty! It was definitely easier than making onion soup the traditional way...I did feel that it was a bit on the thin side, though. I only used sweet onion and more than called for. The flavo..." See morer was nice! This won't replace my usual onion soup recipe, but for quickness and ease, this was great! I may even try to use this method w/ my usual recipe, b/c the concept is just great. I made my own 'croutons', using sliced baguette that I toasted on each side and then rubbed w/ a clove of fresh garlic, and I used swiss just b/c that's what I always use when I make onion soup. All in all this was good and I would def make it again, with a few minor adjustments! Thanks for sharing. :)"
