Slow Cooker French Onion Soup

I have had a love hate affair with french onion soup for years. I love eating it, but hate making it. I remember the first time I had it, was at a very good restaurant in Winnipeg. I was in my earlier twenties. It was an immediate love affair with it, and over the years that has not changed. I remember the first time I made it, and the amount of work that went into it. That’s the hate part of it, the hour plus standing at the stove stirring a pot of onions until they caramelized. Over the years I tried different things to speed it up, but usually ended up with burnt onions. I even tried an oven method I read about ended up, for some reason, with onions that were rubbery. Since I get a craving for it I went back to the low and slow method…
