I get an email once a week from Recipe Secrets. They give alot of knock off recipes. I thought this one would be a good one for the fall....The baggette is the only problem I see and that will be up to your doctor's orders....I left it in the recipe in case other family members still have bread.

T.G.I. Friday's French Onion Soup     
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=   

3-4 medium to large onions
3 cans of beef broth
water
worchestershire sauce
butter
French Baggette (Of course leave this out if Doc says so)
      I think it will be great without the bread also.
sargento cheese (Italian blend) 8 oz. bag (recommended)
2 bay leaves
dash of garlic powder
dash of both salt and pepper

Slice the onions into rings and saute in butter in a skillet until
tender.

Turn crock pot on to low and put in the cans of beef broth, bay
leaves, dash of garlic powder and salt and pepper, 2 tablespoons of
worchestershire sauce, and 3/4 cup of water. When the onions and
butter mixture is tender then also add them to the crock pot.

Cover and cook for at least 3-5 hours on low. At this point you may
want to taste the soup and see if you would like it a little
weaker--if so add a little water or chicken broth. Also, at this
time remove the bay leaves and discard them.


When about ready to serve, slice bread into thin slices and toast
in oven on 350 or in toaster oven until just crusty. Put toasted
slices (1-3) in bowl and cover with the cheese (adjust cheese to
your liking). Then cover bread and cheese with hot soup. The cheese
will melt and the bread will rise to the top.

Mmmm sounds so yummy. I wish I could have it - for some reason onion soup no longer agrees with my rerouted insides :-(

 I LOVE French onion soup ... but it kills me that Applebees charges $3.75 for their Weigh****chers version. Years ago I made a version of this soup that used several different kinds of onions. It was a pain in the rear to make but delicious. My ex husband HATED onions and it grossed him out every time he opened the fridge and saw the pot there.
