Rice Cooker: Onion Soup

Do you have some stale bread? Don't throw it away! Here's a quick fix for your issue. Many of you know it's hard being a college student, we have to go to class and party and also try to feed ourselves.
Well I don't know about you, but it's been getting  cold out lately and I'm craving some soup. In a little bit i'm going to teach you how to make some french onion soup. It might not be as great as the ones sold in store or made at home, but it's really not bad if you ask me. Here's a cheap and quick fix.

What you'll need for this recipe:
1 rice cooker
some bread(fresh or stale)(if you don't have bread but have some plain croutons that's fine to)
some mozzarella cheese(stick or bag is fine)
1 small onion(not red)
1/2 tbs. butter
1 can of Campbell's onion soup
3/4 can of water
1 small bottle of cooking wine(optional)
salt and pepper(Optional)

Prepare:
Press cook on the rice cooker and wait a bit till it starts to heat up. While waiting prepare the onion by peeling and dicing it. Once you're done dicing the rice cooker should be ready. Now add about 2 tbsp of water and the onions then stir to sweat out the onions. Make sure they don't burn, cook till then are transparent. Once onions are cooked add butter and stir. Then slowly pour in the can of onion soup and 3/4 can of water. Stir. Add salt and pepper to taste(optional). Now wait a minute or two till the flavors start to mix and keep warm till serving.

Serving Options:
1.Add a piece of bread on the bottom of the dish then add soup and top off with cheese

2.Add soup to the dish then top off with bread then cheese

3.Add soup to the dish then top off with croutons and cheese

Hope you enjoyed this recipe, until another blog.

P.s. sorry but no toasted cheese in this recipe :[ downside of not having a kitchen, but if you do then pop it in the oven for 2-5mins for the cheese to melt and get that beautiful color and texture. Make sure you use serving option 2 so the cheese does not become lumpy and sink to the bottom.
