I am feeling a little better and not coughing so much and I was hungry for gumbo what with this cold gloomy weather today so I have a pot of chicken, sausage and okra gumbo cooking and it is smelling wonderful. I have a pot of rice cooking to go with it.
This only makes about 2 big bowls, I double the recipe (for just 2 of us) Crockpot French Onion Soup
2 cans of beef broth 3 T butter 2 yellow onions 1/2 T granulated sugar 1/4 cup cooking sherry 1/2 t kosher salt (you might need more if your butter isn't salted) slices of brown rice bread (or french bread) gruyere cheese (swiss could work too)
Heat your crockpot to high and plop your butter in to start melting slice the yellow onions into rings break up the onion slices with your fingers, and rub them around in the melted butter add the beef broth, sugar, salt, and sherry cook on high for 6-8 hours or low for 10-12. It takes a while for the onions to get translucent and pliable
Before serving: --preheat oven to the broiling option --toast 4 slices of the bread that you are going to use. That Trader Joe's brown rice bread needed to be toasted twice in my toaster to get to the desired crunchiness. --cut gruyere cheese into slices --put the cheese onto the toasted bread, and carefully float the bread and cheese on the top of the soup --remove stoneware from crockpot and place the UNCOVERED stoneware into the oven --broil for a minute or two--the cheese should be all melty and turn a golden color
I am hoping you are feeling better Raven. Still snow and the wind is picking up and the temps are falling. We got ten inches on top of what we had today and more snow is coming. We had our main meal at noon and I just had a cup of soup for supper.
