Thanks Paul, glad you enjoyed it! :)

Maybe because it’s one tablespoon of caster sugar not two!

I cooked this today as put a message on your FB group with pic. Absolutely gorgeous, and we’ll be doing it again for sure!!

Thank you, glad you like it :)

Yes, if you swap the main ingredient in a recipe, it’s unlikely to go well.

That’s really interesting! I’ve never had any problem with onions softening in the slow cooker. I use a Crock-Pot – it’s this one here: https://amzn.to/2Zb78SD

I used it to make caramelised onions too and they cooked down beautifully! https://www.easycheesyvegetarian.com/slow-cooker-caramelised-onions/

@Becca @ Easy Cheesy Vegetarian, the onions cooked they just never get hot enough to soften like they do by gently frying them first, they retain almost a slight crunch and don’t break down enough to thicken the soup. There are lots of comments online on the subject and consensus of opinion seems to be that slow cookers don’t do onions justice – that’s why I wondered which brand you used? I’m going to try this again but with softened onions next time! :) PS love your Mushroom Bourguignon!!

Apologies, the beer was included in an older version of the recipe. I left it out of my updated version as I didn’t feel it was necessary. But if you’d like to include it, just add a cupful of dark beer at the start of cooking.
