What it is
A rich, deeply caramelized onion broth topped with a generous layer of melted Gruyère or Emmental cheese. The traditional bread crouton is omitted, focusing on the savory broth and cheesy goodness.
Key ingredients
Onions, beef broth, butter, dry white wine, Gruyère/Emmental cheese, salt, pepper.
If you order it anyway
Absolutely no bread or crouton. Confirm the broth is not thickened with flour and contains no added sugar (caramelized onions provide sufficient sweetness).
If you order it anyway, say this (French)
Absolument sans pain ni croûtons avec la Soupe à l'Oignon Gratinée, s'il vous plaît. Le bouillon est-il sans farine ni sucre ajouté?
Absolutely no bread or croutons with the Soupe à l'Oignon Gratinée, please. Is the broth thickened without flour and without added sugar?
Watch out for
Onions are moderately high in carbs when caramelized in large quantities. White wine adds some carbs. The main risk is the bread crouton, and potential flour thickeners or sugar in the broth.
