Nathan Anthony's French Onion Soup

My all-time favourite soup, and one I tried for the first time in a French restaurant in Disneyland Florida, of all places. With the first spoonful, I knew I had to make it at home and I have evolved it into a convenient slow-cooker recipe.

  • 100g low-fat butter

  • 1 tbsp Italian herb seasoning

  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed

  • 1 bay leaf

  • 2 tbsp brown sugar

  • 200ml white wine

  • 900ml vegetable or beef stock

  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce

  • slices of baguette

  • 120g gruyère cheese, grated

  • salt and pepper, to taste

Method

  1. Place the onions, butter, Italian seasoning, garlic, bay leaf, sugar and wine in the slow cooker, stir and season to taste. Cook on high for 10 hours. Add the stock and Worcestershire sauce and stir well.

  2. Arrange the slices of bread on top of the soup and sprinkle with the grated cheese. Cook under a preheated grill for 8–10 minutes until golden brown. If your slow cooker pot is not ovenproof, transfer the soup to an ovenproof dish before topping with the bread and cheese.
