Slow Cooker French Onion Soup

My favorite thing in the whole wide world of food is soup. I will eat almost every type of soup, and I love making it. A big favorite is Pioneer Woman's Chicken and Dumplings, but tonight I was craving French Onion Soup.

(Ingredients)
3 32 oz cartons of beef broth
2 large onions
2 tablespoons worcestershire (I can never say that word out loud correctly)
1/2 cup of dry red wine
1 tsp garlic powder
1 sprig of fresh thyme
salt and pepper
parmesan cheese
sliced swiss cheese
baguette

Slice up your onions - can you do it without crying? Go ahead and cry; it's good for the psyche. You can blame it on the onions. Sautée the onions in a sauce pan with 1 cup of your beef broth and a splash of worcestershire until the onions have absorbed the broth and they're soft and brown. 

Transfer your onions to the crock pot and add remaining broth, garlic powder, thyme, worcestershire, wine. Cook on high for 4 hours. Add salt and pepper to taste towards the end, along with a handful of parmesan cheese. Slice up your baguette and bake until crispy, and then layer a baguette slice over a bowl of soup with a slice of swiss cheese on top:
