What it is
A rich, savory, and deeply flavored soup made from slowly caramelized onions simmered in a robust beef broth, often topped with a generous layer of melted cheese.
Key ingredients
Onions, beef broth, butter, salt, pepper, thyme, bay leaf, small amount of dry white wine/cognac (mostly cooked off), Gruyere or Emmental cheese.
If you order it anyway
Crucially, request absolutely no bread or croutons, which are traditionally served floating in the soup. Confirm no flour thickener is used in the broth.
If you order it anyway, say this (Czech)

Cibulová polévka, please. Absolutely no bread or croutons. Can you confirm no flour thickener is used in the broth?
Watch out for
Onions are naturally higher in carbohydrates, especially when caramelized. Broth can sometimes contain hidden sugars. The signature bread/croutons must be omitted.
