Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 cups thinly sliced onions (about 2 medium onions)
  • 1 pound boneless sirloin steak, trimmed of fat and cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 8 ounces sliced fresh mushrooms
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon light brown sugar
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 can (10.5 ounces) beef consomme
  • 1 cup water
  • 1-1/2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons dry sherry (optional)
  • 5 slices French bread
  • 3/4 cup shredded reduced-fat swiss cheese

Instruction

  • Coat a large skillet with nonstick cooking spray, and set over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, about 15 minutes.
  • Add the meat, mushrooms, garlic, and brown sugar, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the meat is browned and mushrooms tender, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Transfer the onion and meat mixture to a 4-quart slow cooker.
  • Add the broth, consomme, and water and stir to combine.
  • Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 5 to 7 hours.
  • Add the soy sauce and sherry and cook for 5 more minutes.
  • When ready to serve, toast the bread. Sprinkle bread slices with the grated cheese and broil until melted.
  • Ladle the soup into individual bowls; then float a slice of the broiled cheesy bread on top of each serving of soup.
