My husband is a huge fan of French Onion soup. In fact, it's one of his favorite things to order when we're out, particularly since it's something that we don't often make at home.
Sure, we've tried, but never with any particular success.

I made this delicious version over the weekend--and I didn't even tell my husband it was healthy or on the vegetarian website or I knew he probably wouldn't eat it. ;-)
French Onion Soup - Serves 6
Original recipe from Vegetarian Times
Traditional French onion soup can come in as high as 39 grams of fat per serving. Ours has just 10.5 and tastes amazing.

Sometimes, a traditional recipe for the slow cooker is just what you need. With fall coming and cold nights creeping upon us, there might be a night you just want to come home to some good old comfort food. And what better that a pot roast?
