Easy slow cooker French onion soup with cheesy toast

Ingredients

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
3kg onions, sliced thinly
⅓ cup (80ml) verjuice
2 cloves garlic, crushed
2 tablespoons plain (all-purpose) flour
2 litres (8 cups) beef stock
6 fresh bay leaves
8 sprigs fresh lemon thyme
12 stalks fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 small french seeded baguette (150g), cut into thick slices
150g hard goat’s cheese, sliced thickly
Extra fresh lemon thyme, to serve

Method

1

Heat half the oil in a 6-litre (24-cup) slow cooker on sear (high) setting. Cook onion, stirring, for 10 minutes or until softened.

2

Stir in verjuice. Cook, covered, on high for 1 hour or until onions are very soft.

3

Add garlic and flour to cooker; stir to combine well. Gradually add stock, stirring constantly, until combined. Tie bay leaves, thyme and parsley together with kitchen string; add to cooker. Season. Cook, covered, on low for 4 hours. Remove herbs and discard.

4

Preheat oven to 200°C. Place baguette slices on a large oven tray lined with baking paper; lightly brush with remaining oil. Top each baguette slice with a piece of cheese. Cook in oven for 8 minutes or until bread is crisp and cheese is melted and golden.

5

Divide soup among bowls and top with extra thyme. Serve with cheesy toasts.

Instead of goat’s cheese, you can use smoked cheddar, if you prefer.
