Who doesn’t love a big bowl of onion soup? However, making it can be time-consuming, as you have to sauté the onions for a long time while stirring them. This recipe allows you to skip the sautéing, as your crock pot does all the work for you.
Combine onions, salt, pepper, and oil in a crockpot; stir to combine.
Add flanken to the crockpot; cover with onion mixture. Cover; cook on high for four to five hours, until onions are golden brown.
Add broth, wine, and miso paste; stir to combine. Cook on high for an additional hour.
Tips:
Miso paste is a paste made from fermented bean curd. Used primarily in Japanese cooking, it adds umami, depth of flavor, to the dishes. Miso paste is available in a variety of colors; the darker the color, the stronger the flavor. I use them interchangeably.

I dont have miso paste on hand. I do have 2 very old packets of miso soup. What can I use to substitute the paste?
You can add a little soy sauce to help with that umami flavor but I would highly recommend using miso.
Hi I ha e 2 questions that I see were posted already not responded to. First can u use boneless flanken to avoid bones in soup and 2nd can u put it up fri aftn an eat for shabbos lunch like cholent or that is too long time in crock pot. Thanx waiting for answrs
Hi! Yes, you could make this for Shabbos day. Put it up right before Shabbos and add an extra cup of water 🙂
You could use boneless flanken.
Made this for Friday night dinner, it was Excellent! I added some red pepper flakes at the end. Next time I think I will add Swiss chard….
Could you put in on a Friday and eat shabbos morning? Would that be too much time in the pot?
I was just wondering the same thing. Can I prepare the crock pot before Shabbos and have the soup for lunch?
Can I use boneless flanken instead of bone in flanken please?
Hi, I only have a smaller crock pot. Will the onions need more time to cook down? Thanks
As long as you cook it for enough time, it should be fine.
1) can this be made without crockpot?
2) how do you serve it (what do you do with the bones)?
Anything that can be made in a crock pot can be made regularly in a pot on the stove. The difference is that you put your food in the crock pot and let it do the “work”. In a regular pot you have to stir and watch that there is enough water, brown and stir onions, etc. I imagine that you can serve the soup with or without the bones. It’s up to you.
Cabernet Sauvignon Does the red wine have to be dry wine? Or can I substitute with a semi-sweet wine?
You can use semi-sweet wine.
Miso paste Can the miso paste be left out? I can’t find it in my grocery.
Thanks
You can leave it out but I would substitute it with some 1-2 tablespoons of soy sauce.
Fantastic soup Absolutely delicious!! Everyone loves it adults and kids alike!! Personally I think 6 big onions are enough.
