Weight Watchers Slow Cooker French Onion Soup

This recipe came from Weight Watchers and is a delicious soup for a cold day. I cut the recipe in half since it is just Chris and I... and then I had leftovers for lunch the next day!

Ingredients for 3 servings:

1. 1.5 lb of uncooked onions (about 3)

2. 2 tbsp unsalted butter

3. 1 tsp salt

4. 1/8 cup of fino sherry

5. 1 tsp of minced garlic

6. 1 1/5c reduced-sodium chicken broth

7. 1 1/5c reduced-sodium beef broth

8. 3 sprigs of fresh thyme (plus extra for garnish)

9. 1 bay leaf

10. 1 tsp sugar

11. 1 tsp reduced sodium soy sauce

12. black pepper

13. 1 1/2 tbsp Parmesan

Directions:

1. Combine onions, butter, and salt in the slow cooker. Cook on high until the onions are browned (8-10 hours).

2. Add sherry and garlic. Stir and cook uncovered on high for 10-15 minutes to burn off the alcohol.

3. Stir in the broths, thyme, bay leaf, and sugar. Cover and cook an additional 2-3 hours.

4. Remove thyme and bay leaf. Stir in soy sauce and pepper.

5. Sprinkle with cheese adn garnish with thyme.

Chris and I added bread and some greens to the side to make this a complete meal. Enjoy!

Chris' rating: 4/5. He stated that it was sweeter than what he is used to but still good :)
