Keto French Onion Soup

Keto French Onion Soup is a rich and savory dish that combines caramelized onions with a flavorful broth, topped with melted cheese for a satisfying low-carb experience. This comforting soup is perfect for a cozy dinner or a warm appetizer.

Ingredients

• Yellow onions - 2 medium (about 300g)
• Butter - 30g
• Beef broth - 500ml
• Dry white wine (or dry vermouth) - 60ml
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Thyme - 1 teaspoon, dried
• Bay leaf - 1
• Salt - to taste
• Pepper - to taste
• Gruyère cheese - 100g, grated
• Parmesan cheese - 30g, grated
• Almond flour - 2 tablespoons (for thickening, optional)

Steps

1. Slice the yellow onions thinly and set aside.
2. In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring frequently, until they are caramelized and golden brown, about 20-25 minutes.
3. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
4. Pour in the dry white wine and scrape the bottom of the pot to deglaze it, allowing the liquid to reduce by half.
5. Add the beef broth, thyme, bay leaf, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10-15 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
6. If using, stir in the almond flour to thicken the soup slightly and simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
7. Remove the bay leaf and ladle the soup into oven-safe bowls. Top each bowl with a generous amount of Gruyère and Parmesan cheese.
8. Place the bowls under a broiler for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown. Serve immediately.
