SC onions soup @maman as requested:
https://cooktopcove.com/2017/09/07/slow-cooker-french-onion-soup-recipe/?src=article_link&eid=60311_a&pid=57667&et=fbad&k=lgrhaen017
I use a 3.5l oval SC and it fitted in fine - wasn't really sure what size a 6 qt SC was!
I used butter Frylight to spray the pot and sweetener instead of sugar. Β I did need to stir it after about 4 hours as the onions were beginning to stick to the pot but that's probably because of using Frylight rather than butter!
Didn't have any sherry so used sherry vinegar and a bit extra sweetener - didn't want to make it too sweet though with onions being quite sweet anyway.1 -

Not talking about food, just rubbish π₯Ί
Had another tat π², was very expensive as we lost part of the exhaust going there! Was still in the road when we came back π₯΄.
Tat is a bit bigger than expected, was supposed to be a subtle heart but!!!I am a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on Mortgage Free Wannabe & Local Money Saving Scotland & Disability Money Matters.

Thanks again for the welcome.
@Bubbs no I'm not in Northampton but that sounds a great deal. I have filled a form in last night which will hopefully help. I tried to call but just seemed to go into a blackhole.

I'd hang on @savingholmes. It's a good saving if you can get a NHS referral. You said that the scales were looking good already and we'll help you all we can with any questions or syn values you need while you're waiting. π
Thanks for the French onion soup recipe @joedenise, especially as it's in the SC. Using the sherry vinegar would make it syn free. π How many portions do you think it makes? I don't have sherry but I have port which is similar. π€1 -
