With the first spoonful, I knew I had to make it at home and I have evolved it into a convenient slow-cooker recipe. This might not be the most authentic recipe and I apologise now to the French nation – I must confess to using Italian herb seasoning and Worcestershire sauce in my French onion soup. And for more slow cooker recipes you can pick up my first ever cookbook The Healthy Slow Cooker Book or my latest slow cooker book Slow Cooker Even Easier on Amazon today.

Method
Step 1
Place the onions, butter, Italian seasoning, garlic, bay leaf, sugar and wine in the slow cooker, stir and season to taste. Cook on high for 10 hours. Add the stock and Worcestershire sauce and stir well.
Step 2
Arrange the slices of bread on top of the soup and sprinkle with the grated cheese. Cook under a preheated grill for 8–10 minutes until golden brown. If your slow cooker pot is not ovenproof, transfer the soup to an ovenproof dish before topping with the bread and cheese.
