Sorbonne French Onion Soup
|
Ingredients:
- 6 small onions
- 3 Tbsp butter
- 1 tsp flour*
- 6 cups beef broth
- 1/2 cup very dry white wine or vermouth
- 1 Tbsp cognac (optional)
- Salt to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 3 Tbsp grated Swiss Emmenthal cheese
- Additional grated/shredded parmesan cheese (fresh is best!)
Slice the onions very thin. Sauté them in the butter until lightly
browned. Mix in the flour and cook for 2-3 minutes more. Stir in the
beef broth, wine and Cognac. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Gently
simmer the soup for 15-20 minutes. Add the swiss cheese and continue simmering
until the cheese melts. Stir frequently while cheese is melting. When serving,
sprinkle each serving with additional grated Parmesan Cheese.
Makes 8 servings. 5 net grams of carbohydrate per serving.
NOTE: *Flour?! Yes, flour. Such a small amount is used here that we need
worry little about its contribution to the carb count. However, if you are keeping
things exceptionally strict, you may use full-fat soy flour, or for ZERO carbs,
you can use Xanthan Gum. To use the Xanthan, mix 1/4 tsp of the gum with 1/4 cup of
the room temperature beef broth to disolve before adding to mix. With Xanthan
Gum, soup is 3.5 grams per serving. With soy flour, it's 4.5 grams per serving.
