My keto French onion soup recipe features caramelized onions swimming in warm broth with crusty bread and melty cheese. It’s made with no flour, no thickeners, and only 3 grams of net carbs!
Preheat the oven to 200C/400F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
Place a large soup pot over medium heat. Once hot, add the butter to melt. Add the sliced onions, sweetener, and pepper and saute for 8-10 minutes, until tender.
Add the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce and bring to a simmer. Once it starts simmering, cover the pot and let it simmer for a further 10 minutes.
While the soup is simmering, prepare the cheesy toasts. Slice your two keto hot dog buns into 6 thick slices and slice each one in half. Place the twelve pieces of bread onto the lined sheet. Sprinkle half the Gruyere cheese over the top. Bake in the oven for 6-8 minutes, until golden brown.
Ladle the soup into small bowls. Add 1-2 pieces of the cheesy toast on top of each soup bowl and sprinkle with extra Gruyere cheese and a sprig of thyme.
