METHOD

Ingredients in the slow cooker Add all the ingredients, except the remaining onion, milk, cheese and olive oil, to the slow cooker on a low heat.

Stir well and leave to cook for six to eight hours.


Onions sliced Half an hour before cooking is complete, grate the cheese. Add it, with the milk to slow cooker. Sir well and replace the lid for the last half an hour's cooking.
From here on the instructions are for an optional crispy onion topping. Slice the remaining onion into thin slices. Separate out the the individual onion rings.

Fried onions Heat the olive oil to a medium high heat. Add the onions and stir them so that they are coated in oil.

Let them fry for eight minutes or so until they well-browned. Stir frequently to ensure they are evenly cooked.


Serve the soup into warm bowls. Top each soup with a portion of the crispy fried onions. Serve immediately with a good portion of crusty bread.
If freezing the soup, leave it to cool, add to freezer containers and place in the freezer. The soup will keep for three months in the freezer.
