Crock Pot Beef French Onion Soup

The Skinny on Slow Cooker Beefy French Onion Soup

Softening the onions and browning the meat and mushrooms in a skillet before tossing it into your crock pot adds a lot of extra color and flavor.

But, if it seems like too much effort, skip it and this skinny beefy french onion soup will still taste great.

Healthy French Onion Soup

Enjoying French onion soup at home became so much easier when I learned  the secret to no more burnt hands trying to maneuver bowls of hot soup in and out of the broiler.

Make the cheesy toasty bread separately by toasting the cheese-topped bread under the broiler and then float it on top of the soup, instead of attempting to broil it all together in the oven!
