For a deeper flavor, caramelize the onions in a skillet before adding them to the slow cooker. This will add an extra layer of richness to the soup.
Use a good quality chicken broth for the best flavor. Homemade broth is ideal, but store-bought works well too.
To add more body to the soup, blend a portion of it with an immersion blender before serving.
Serve hot, garnished with grated Gruyère cheese or toasted croutons.
