Inspired by the classic French recipe but adapted for the slow cooker, this onion soup from Nathan Anthony, aka Bored of Lunch, is rich, buttery and extremely easy to make.

Introduction
My all-time favourite soup, and one I tried for the first time in a French restaurant in Disneyland Florida of all places. With the first spoonful, I knew I had to make it at home and I have evolved it into a convenient slow-cooker recipe. This might not be the most authentic recipe and I apologise now to the French nation – I must confess to using Italian herb seasoning and Worcestershire sauce in my French onion soup.
Ingredients
10 | onions, sliced |
100g | low-fat butter |
1 tbsp | Italian herb seasoning |
2 | garlic cloves, crushed |
1 | bay leaf |
2 tbsp | brown sugar |
200ml | white wine |
900ml | vegetable or beef stock |
1 tsp | Worcestershire sauce slices of baguette |
120g | gruyère cheese, grated |
salt and pepper, to taste |
Essential kit
You will need: a slow cooker.
Method
Place the onions, butter, Italian seasoning, garlic, bay leaf, sugar and wine in the slow cooker, stir and season to taste. Cook on high for 10 hours. Add the stock and Worcestershire sauce and stir well.
Arrange the slices of bread on top of the soup and sprinkle with the grated cheese. Cook under a preheated grill for 8–10 minutes until golden brown. If your slow cooker pot is not ovenproof, transfer the soup to an ovenproof dish before topping with the bread and cheese.
