This Low-Carb French Onion Soup is a comfort food that is also good for people on the keto diet. Onions that have been caramelized are cooked in a beef broth that has hints of garlic, thyme, and Worcestershire sauce. To make it extra cheese-y, low-carb bread slices are toasted and topped with shredded Gruyere cheese instead of regular bread. Soup like this is great on cold days, and you don't have to worry about how many carbs it has.

Ingredients: 4 large onions, thinly sliced. 4 tablespoons butter. 2 cloves garlic, minced. 4 cups beef broth. 1 cup dry red wine optional. 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce. 1 teaspoon dried thyme. Salt and pepper, to taste. 4 slices low-carb bread. 1 cup shredded Gruyere cheese.

Instructions: In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until caramelized and golden brown, about 30-40 minutes. Add the minced garlic to the pot and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes. Pour in the beef broth and red wine, if using. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring the soup to a simmer and let it cook for 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. While the soup is simmering, preheat the broiler. Place the slices of low-carb bread on a baking sheet and toast them under the broiler until lightly browned. Ladle the soup into oven-safe bowls. Top each bowl with a slice of toasted low-carb bread and sprinkle shredded Gruyere cheese over the bread. Place the bowls under the broiler and broil until the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 2-3 minutes. Carefully remove the bowls from the broiler and serve the French onion soup hot.

Ingredients: 1 medium cauliflower head. 1 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped. 1/2 cup fresh mint leaves, finely chopped. 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped. 2-3 cloves garlic, minced. 1 cup cherry tomatoes, quartered. 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil. Juice of 2 lemons. Salt and pepper to taste.

Instructions: Place the cauliflower florets in a food processor after cutting them. Grind the cauliflower until it has a texture similar to that of rice.
