Preparation
Step 1
Place onions, garlic, and butter into your slow cooker. Cover and cook on high heat setting for 45 minutes to an hour or until onions begin to soften. Yes, your slow cooker will be pretty full of onions. Don't let it scare you! They cook down.
Step 2
Stir broth, beer, soy sauce, bay leaf, vinegar and spices into the onions.
Cover and cook on low heat setting 6 to 8 hours (or high heat setting 3 to 4 hours) or until onions are very tender.
Step 3
Once the soup is finished, remove the bay leaf. Right before serving, preheat oven broiler and set out individual slices of french bread onto a baking sheet. Top bread slices with 1 oz. of the cheese each.
Broil until the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
Step 4
Ladle soup into bowls and top with toasted 'croutons'. Serve piping hot and enjoy!
