I love french onion soup. I have put my onion 1 medium per person sliced, in my crock pot on low, with the butter increased by 2 tbls. and 1/2 cup of beef stock and 1/2 cup of your favorite red wine for about 5-6 hours. This way I can leave them to do their thing. Then finish the soup per usual.


Here's a variation that my family loves that doesn't take as long. Use one medium per person. Core the onion about 3/4 way through the middle. Cut a square of heavy foil large enough to make a packet for each onion and place onion on foil. Place 1/2 tbls of butter and buillion cube or 1/2 tbls of buillion powder. Bring foil around the onion to make a packet. Cook in a 325 oven or on the grill until the onions are very soft, usually an hour or so. Make sure you have a nice size soup bowl because you won't want to lose any of the onions or "soup" when you open the packet. Great.

In the South, we call it Wooster.
