French Onion Soup


It's surprising how many things you can come up with for dinner when you're running out of groceries. I had a few small potatoes left, some onions that were going to go bad soon, and a bunch of Herbalife soup mix samples. So I made the above.

Slice up potatoes and throw in crock pot
Season to taste (s&p, garlic, dried onions)
Slice up onions and add to pot
Since I had them, I mixed up about 8 packs of soup mix (each contains about 12g protein) with hot water (about 32 oz) You can use regular chicken broth.
Pour it in the pot and stir.

After an hour of cooking on high (depending on how hard the potatoes) it's ready to serve.
Shred up some romano or other kind of cheese and put a thick layer of it on top.

Since I used protein soup mix for mine, it's like a meatless dinner that will fill you up.
