With all the snow we had over the past couple of weeks, soup was high on my list of cravings! And as far as soups go, there are few that are more of a comfort food than hot French Onion Soup with melted Parmesan cheese over the top. To make it even better, this recipe was designed for the slow cooker, so it meant only a couple of minutes of preparation in the morning. Then, dinner was hot and ready to go when I got home from work.

I really wish I would have thought to snap a couple of pictures of the dogs bouncing and playing in the snow. They loved it! Oh well, I’ll just leave you with a view of how deep it was looking out from my back deck.
