French Onion Soup
2 pts. per one cup of soup. Bread and cheese is extra. mine with bread and cheese was 3.5 pts
Ingredients
1 tablespoon butter
1 teaspoon olive oil
1-2 onions cut finely
1 box of beef stock
1 package Lipton Onion Soup Mix
2 cups water
Bread of your choice (I used sandwich thins)
reduced fat provolone cheese
Directions
1. In a crock pot place butter, olive oil, onions, beef stock, water and onion soup mix. I cooked mine on low for ten hours.
2. When you are ready to eat butter your bread(on both sides) and place it in the oven on broil. Flip when one side is crisp. You definitely want both sides of your bread crisp.
3. In a soup crock (bowl, mug or whatever you want) place some soup *NOTE I strained out a lot of the onions first because I don't like them*
4. Place the bread into your dish and your cheese on top. Place in the oven on broil until cheese is bubbly.
Looks fancy and delicious to me- YUM!! :)

Oooh yum! This looks incredibly delish. Is this weight watchers? I remember my mum doing weightwatchers (she was skinny already) and she couldn't stop losing weight even after she reached her goal, it was crazy!

I love onion soup! I've never made it myself. I like it with lots of cheese... and that's where most restaurants get it wrong (they're seriously way too stingy with the cheese, dunno why).
ReplyDeleteI so much love French onion soup!!)))
ReplyDeleteLooks delicious! Do you know how many points it is?
ReplyDeleteI'd say this sounds pretty good! I love my crock pot for meals like that. My fave soup is minestrone!
