Caramelized Onion Chicken Soup
A comforting and hearty soup with caramelized onions, shredded chicken, and melted cheese on top.
Ingredients
| 3 | sweet yellow onions, sliced or diced to your preference |
|---|---|
| 3 | tablespoons olive oil |
| 1 | teaspoon salt |
| ½ | teaspoon pepper |
| 4 | chicken broth (I use Swanson, 100% natural, no MSG added) |
| 1 | cooked chicken breast, shredded |
| 4 | day-old or toasted slices baguette |
| 4 | slices Swiss cheese |
| ¼ | cup Parmesan cheese |
Instructions
| 1. | Begin by preparing the onions. Dice the sweet yellow onions to your preference and place them in a crock-pot or slow cooker. Toss the onions with olive oil, salt, and pepper. |
|---|---|
| 2. | Set the crock-pot to low for 8-10 hours or high for about 5 hours, allowing the onions to caramelize beautifully overnight. |
| 3. | Once the onions are caramelized, add the chicken broth and shredded chicken to the crock-pot. |
| 4. | Increase the crock-pot setting to high to bring the soup to temperature and allow the flavors to meld. Adjust the salt level if necessary. |
| 5. | When ready to serve, preheat the broiler. Ladle the caramelized onion chicken soup into ovenproof bowls. Top each bowl with a slice of day-old or toasted baguette, a slice of Swiss cheese, and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese. |
| 6. | Place the bowls under the broiler until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Serve hot and enjoy the delicious flavors of this comforting soup. |
