3 1/2 cups chicken broth

1/2 cup chopped onion

2 cups of beer (I used Lost Coast Stout)

1 1/2 teaspoons of dried thyme

4 cloves of minced garlic (I used 6... I like garlic)

2 cups milk

3 cups Sharp Cheddar Cheese, Shredded

3 Cups American Cheese, Shredded

1 Teaspopon paprika


Add: Chicken broth, onion, beer, thyme and garlic to crockpot. Slow cook on low for 4 hours.

Add: Milk, cheeses and paprika. Cook on high for 45-60 minutes, or until heated through.

Garnish with croutons. (I made homemade rye croutons, just cut up pre-sliced bread into chunks and baked for 12 minutes at 425, stirring once).


It turned out pretty much delicious, the bf and I enjoyed it the night I made it, and my co-workers enjoyed the rest of it the next day. Most said it tasted like a French Onion Soup with a twist.

I was just thinking today that I really want to make something homemade tonight. It's funny you should post this minutes after I looked online for some recipes. I love French Onion Soup so I might have to try this. I think I would replace the cheddar with Mozzarella though.

Oh, but they do.

Just note that its a slow cook - 4 hours on low and then another hour or so on high.

I was wanting to make a huge meal, have you tried having this with anything else yet? I wonder what it would go good with.
