Ingredients
  

  • 3 yellow onions thinly sliced
  • 4 russet potatoes peeled and cut into chunks
  • 6 cups beef broth or vegetable broth

Instructions
 

  • Place sliced onions evenly in the bottom of the slow cooker.
  • Add chopped potatoes on top of the onions.
  • Pour broth over everything and gently press down so ingredients are mostly submerged.
  • Cover and cook on LOW for 8–10 hours or HIGH for 4–5 hours.
  • Stir gently, allowing some potatoes to break apart and thicken the soup.
  • Optional: mash a portion of the potatoes for a thicker, creamier texture.
  • Season with salt and pepper if needed, then serve warm.

Notes

For extra richness, add a pat of butter or a splash of cream before serving. Best enjoyed with thick, crusty bread for dipping.
