From Chopping Onions to Setting the Slow Cooker
Now that we have our ingredients ready, it’s time to dive into the step-by-step preparation of this mouthwatering slow cooker onion soup.
The first task on our list is chopping the onions. Take your knife and carefully slice the onions into thin, even slices. Remember, the key here is to achieve that perfect caramelization. Once the onions are chopped, we’ll move on to the next step – sautéing them in a hot pan until they turn golden brown and release their sweet aroma.
This will bring out their natural sweetness and enhance the flavor of the soup. After sautéing the onions, transfer them to the slow cooker and add in the fragrant garlic. Next, pour in the rich beef broth and a touch of Worcestershire sauce to elevate the savory notes. Give everything a good stir and set the slow cooker to low heat.
Now, all you have to do is sit back and let the magic happen as the flavors meld together over several hours of slow cooking. Your kitchen will soon be filled with the irresistible aroma of simmering onion soup. So go ahead, get started on this simple yet satisfying recipe!
