Soupe à l'Oignon (Sans Croûton)
French Onion Broth with Gruyère (No Croutons)
Yes, with a tweak: aBSOLUTELY no bread/croutons. About 12g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for French food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A rich, savory beef broth brimming with deeply caramelized onions, traditionally topped with a substantial bread crouton and melted Gruyère cheese. For keto, the bread crouton is completely omitted, focusing on the deeply flavored broth, sweet onions, and a generous layer of melted cheese.
Key ingredients
Beef broth, yellow onions, butter, white wine (optional, for deglazing), Gruyère cheese, salt, pepper.
How to make it keto
ABSOLUTELY no bread/croutons. Confirm no flour is used to thicken the broth and no sugar is added to caramelize onions (beyond natural sugar concentration).
Say this to the waiter (French)
Absolument sans croûtons, s'il vous plaît. Le bouillon est-il épaissi à la farine? Les oignons sont-ils caramélisés avec du sucre ajouté?
Absolutely no croutons, please. Is the broth thickened with flour? Is sugar added to the onions?
Watch out for
The main risk is the bread crouton. Caramelized onions contribute significant carbs. Some recipes use flour as a thickener. White wine also adds a small amount of carbs.
