WIUW! My favorite soup: French Onion Soup!

I know it feels like fall when the weather starts to cool off a bit, the kids are all back in school and yes even the leaves on the trees are starting to change 

But for me it just isn't fall until I have officially started to make French Onion Soup! One of my most favorite comfort foods!

So today for my WIUW post I'm am going to share my recipe with you..(actually I can't take credit for this one, this comes from my in-laws...But trust me They can cook!) But of course you will know this is one of my recipes simply because I love the less is more kind of food! So you'll notice that this is yet another great recipe that uses just a few ingredients and the best part of all!? I timed myself today when I made this and even with chopping the onions that made me cry and taking pictures for this post it only took me 27 minutes to make! Woo Hoo!  So that sounds like a great place to start, here are the ingredients that you will need:

1/4 c. butter

2C. Onions Thinly sliced (I like to use large purple onions)

1 TBS Flour

4 C Beef Stock

1 TBS Worcestershire sauce

1/8 tsp. Garlic Powder

Croutons

Mozzarella cheese

Just a quick note this recipe is easy to double, triple whatever! Also I don't ever really measure the onions..I just find that 2 Large purple onions work perfect, 4 if you double it, 6 if you triple etc....

 lets start by Thinly slicing your onions 

And saute them in butter

While you are sauteing your onions dump your beef stock, Worcestershire, and garlic into your sauce pan and let it start to simmer.

Once your onions are tender, sprinkle with 1 tablespoon flour and cook for a minute or two and stir the flour into the onions. Then add to your broth mixture Simmer your soup covered for 45 minutes.

Serve hot topped with croutons and mozzarella cheese.

Happy Fall!

Warning! My family loves, loves, loves this! And I'm hoping your family will too! And of course because it's me posting this week and not my sister Naoni you'll notice that once again we're going to be using your crock pot (Hey it is really hot this summer in WI, and I love not heating up the whole kitchen!) And You'll also notice we are using only about 5 ingredients! (2 more than I usually use!) Just kidding! But you get the idea I really go for those quick n easy recipes!!

So Lets get started! Turn your crock pot on high!

 Ingredients:

1/2 c butter

1 envelope Italian Salad dressing mix

1  10.75 oz can cream of chicken soup

1  8 oz pkg. cream cheese.

2 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1 in strips (Sorry not pictured)

Place butter in bottom of crock pot and melt.

Once your butter is melted stir in your Italian dressing mix.  then place your chicken in the butter mixture and stir well. Cover and cook on high for 2 hours, until chicken is cooked. 

Once chicken is fully cooked remove the chicken (Place on a plate). Add soup and cream cheese to the liquid in the crock pot. Stir to melt and mix well, until smooth and creamy. Now place cut up cooked chicken back into crock pot, stir and mix well, (Sorry for the terrible picture!)
