Slow Cooker French Onion Soup

[ssba]

Comforting French Onion Soup can simmer away in your crockpot and be waiting on you when you get home…Slow Cooker French Onion Soup
I’ll admit that I only recently tried French Onion Soup for the first time.  I’m not really sure why it took me so long.  But I think all the wait  made it all worthwhile!  Well….maybe it had a little to do with the place I tried it as well.

This past summer, we went to Disney World and had one amazing, fun, overwhelming experience after another.  On one of the nights, we ate at the Be Our Guest Restaurant.  Oh. My. Goodness.  It had to be one of my favorite experiences of the entire trip.  Beauty and the Beast is my all time favorite Disney movie, and the whole restaurant is designed to look like the Beast’s castle down to every little detail.  I mean, they even had what appeared to look like snow falling when you looked out the windows.  And….the snow fell in the same pattern as the movie!

The restaurant served French food.  I was kind of leery because it just seemed so fancy.  I honestly wasn’t sure what I would like.  I ordered a steak and pomme frites (french fries) and French Onion Soup.  The soup was amazing!  And the fact that I was eating it in the beautiful ballroom kind of added to the whole experience too!  I documented our Disney experience here if you want to check it out.

I knew my husband liked it as well, so I decided to make some at home…slow cooker style, of course.  My husband and I really enjoyed it.  It’s really a great soup to add to our usual steak night dinner.  You can freeze the leftovers too.  It’s great to add to other recipes like this one in the place of canned french onion soup.
