Ingredients:

Serving

3 jumbo yellow onions, peeled, halved and sliced into thin wedges
1 tbsp butter, softened
1 tbsp olive oil
1 1/2 tbsp flour
6 cups beef broth
2 -3 tbsp dry sherry or 2 -3 tbsp cognac, optional but very nice
2 tsp salt , as needed
6 thick slices crusty french bread
1 1/2 cups loosely packed shredded gruyere cheese

Directions:

Put onions in the slow cooker; set on high. Stir in the butter and olive oil to coat.
Slow-cook for 5-6 hours, stirring occasionally, until deep brown. Careful not to burn.
Stir in the flour, cook 1 minute. Add broth, sherry and salt. Adjust seasonings and cook in the slow cooker for 1 hour. To intensify the flavors: Prop the lid open a little (I stick a toothpick in between the pot & lid) to let some of the steam out and reduce the liquid. This will concentrate the flavor. The longer you let is simmer, the better it will. I let my soup simmer for 3 hours. YUM, it was rich and flavorful.
30 minutes BEFORE SERVING: Preheat oven to 450°. Toast the sliced bread on a baking sheet for 3-4 minutes, flip and bake for an additional 3-4 minutes for a drier crouton. Bake until crusty. Ladle soup into oven proof bowl. Top with toasted bread slice; sprinkle with cheese. Bake until the cheese has melted, 4-5 minutes.
