Sopa de Cebolla Gratinada (Keto Modificada)
Keto French Onion Soup with Cheese Gratin
Yes, with a tweak: omit all traditional bread croutons. About 13g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Uruguayan food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A deeply flavorful, rich soup made from slowly caramelized onions in a robust beef broth, topped with a generous layer of melted, bubbly cheese. Modified by omitting the traditional bread croutons and ensuring no flour thickeners.
Key ingredients
Onions, rich beef broth, butter, olive oil, dry white wine (optional), bay leaf, thyme, Gruyère or similar strong-flavored cheese (e.g., Provolone, Fontina), salt, black pepper.
How to make it keto
Crucially, omit all traditional bread croutons. Confirm that no flour or other high-carb thickeners are used in the broth. Ask if sugar is used to assist with onion caramelization; request minimal or none if possible.
Watch out for
Traditional baguette croutons, flour thickeners, sugar added during onion caramelization (can be significant if overused).
