Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 1 hour
Serves: 4
Difficulty: Intermediate
Course: Appetizer
Cuisine: Keto, Low-Carb

Ingredients:

  • 4 large onions, thinly sliced
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 4 cups beef broth (check for no added sugars)
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine (optional)
  • 1 tsp thyme leaves
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 cup shredded Gruyรจre cheese (for topping)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (for caramelizing the onions)
  • 1 clove garlic, minced (for seasoning)
  • 1 bay leaf

Instructions:

  1. Caramelize the Onions: In a large soup pot, heat the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-low heat. Add the thinly sliced onions and cook slowly, stirring occasionally, until they turn a deep golden brown and caramelized, about 45 minutes to 1 hour. Be patient; this step is crucial for the soup’s flavor.
  2. Season the Onions: Add minced garlic and thyme leaves to the caramelized onions. Stir and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Deglaze with Wine (optional): Pour in the white wine (if using) to deglaze the pot, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
  4. Add Broth and Bay Leaf: Pour in the beef broth and add the bay leaf. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  5. Serve: Ladle the hot Keto French Onion Soup into oven-safe bowls. Top each bowl with a generous sprinkle of shredded Gruyรจre cheese.
  6. Broil and Serve: Preheat your oven’s broiler. Place the bowls on a baking sheet and broil until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.

Note: Be cautious when transferring the soup bowls to the broiler, as they will be hot.
