Skip's Notes:

Simple, but delicious. Set it and forget it. Soup is served.

Comments from the Test Kitchen:

Simple technique + classic flavors = true love. We really like this recipe and have found it to be the perfect companion on cool evenings.

Directions

In a large skillet, cook onions and garlic on low heat in hot butter for about 20 minutes and stir several times.

Transfer onion mixture to a 5-quart crockpot. Add beef broth, Worcestershire sauce and 1 cup water. Cover and cook on low for 6 hours or on high for 3 hours.

Before serving soup, toast bread slices with cheese slice on top. (Broil for 3 minutes or until cheese is light brown and bubbly).

Ladle soup into bowls and top with toast.

Makes: 8 servings

Thanks for sharing this recipe- I need more recipes for my new crock pot. This soup is one of my favorite and I love Gruyère cheese.

Skip~this looks so good and much easier than the traditional way. Thanks for the recipe.
~MMB~when looking for a crock pot, one of the things you may consider is gettin one 6 qts or larger. Also an oval one will accomidate large raosts, chickens, etc.
~Pat~I love gruyere, too. I haven't met too many cheeses I don't love~(limberger is one I despise *wink*)

((HUGS))) y'all.
