How to make it keto
Explicitly request NO bread or crouton. Confirm that no flour or starch is used to thicken the broth. Be mindful of the carb content from the caramelized onions; request a moderately sized portion if strictly counting carbs.
Say this to the waiter (French)
La Soupe à l'oignon sans croûtons, s'il vous plaît. Pouvez-vous confirmer qu'il n'y a pas de farine ni de sucre dans le bouillon ? Avec un supplément de fromage.
Soupe à l'oignon, absolutely no croutons. Please confirm no flour or sugar in the broth. Can I have extra cheese on top?
Watch out for
Caramelized onions are naturally higher in carbs; a large portion can be significant. Traditional bread/croutons are high-carb and must be omitted. Flour is sometimes used to thicken the broth. Hidden sugars may be used to aid onion caramelization.
