The Best Slow Cooker French Onion Soup, that is simmered in a red wine, chicken and beef stock. Topped with Gruyere cheese and scallops!

This Homemade French Onion soup is simmered in red wine, beef and chicken broth. Then topped with toasted crusty bread, gruyere cheese and some scallops. Your going to want to get yourself a set of some good quality oven proof bowls and then you will be in business to make the best french onion soup ever.

Typically people caramelize there onions on the stove for a minimum of 45 minutes, turning them often.  However if your pressed for time, you can let the slow cooker do that work for you and save you the hassle too.

Traditionally french onion soup is topped with Gruyere cheese, however you can substitute for swiss which is similar in taste. I like to use Gruyere through which can be found in most European markets. This recipe will make roughly 5 large bowls of french onion soup, or 6 small to medium. So if you have any any leftovers “which is highly unlikely” unless it’s just you, then you can enjoy it over the next few days or share with those lucky enough to be around the kitchen with you.
