If you order it anyway, say this (French)
Sans pain ni croûtons, s'il vous plaît. Pourriez-vous confirmer que le bouillon n'est pas épaissi à la farine et que les oignons sont caramélisés sans sucre ajouté?
No bread or croutons, please. Please confirm no flour in the broth and that onions are caramelized without added sugar.
Watch out for
