Crockpot French Onion Soup

My wife and I have enjoyed French Onion soup for years at a favorite restaraunt - then moved away. Recently I was given a Crock Pot - and one of the first things I did was look up French Onion soup. This recipe is amazing. Easy, short list of ingrediants, and tastes BETTER then any you could buy. THX!
