French Onion Soup - Sorbonne
Ingredients:
6 small onions
3 tbsp butter
1 tsp flour
6 cup beef broth
1/2 cup very dry white wine or vermouth
1 tbsp cognac, (optional)
1 salt, to taste
1 freshly-ground black pepper, to taste
3 tbsp grated swiss emmenthal cheese
1 grated parmesan cheese, (fresh is best!)
Instructions:
Slice the onions very thin. Sauté them in the butter until lightly
browned. Mix in the flour and cook for 2 to 3 minutes more. Stir in the
beef broth, wine and Cognac. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Gently simmer the soup for 15 to 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 grated Parmesan Cheese.
This recipe yields 8 servings; 5 carb grams per serving.
Comments: 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 teaspoon 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.
