How To Make Keto French Onion Soup

  • Saute onions. Heat butter and bone broth in a dutch oven first, then add the onions – they’ll take up a lot of space!

… And keep sauteing them until they are nice and caramelized…

  • Brown garlic. Push onions to the sides and make a well in the center. Add minced garlic and thyme leaves, and saute until fragrant. It’ll only take about a minute!

  • Deglaze. See all those browned bits stuck to the dutch oven in the picture above? Now, we’ll add dry white wine and scrape all those bits. They are loaded with flavor!
  • Simmer. Add more broth and bay leaves, then we’ll simmer the soup for a while.

  • Toast bread. Meanwhile, make the 90-second keto bread according to the instructions here – except you’ll triple the batch to have 6 slices total. Then, toast the slices in the oven, until golden brown on both sides.

  • Assemble healthy French onion soup. Transfer soup into oven-safe bowls and position on a baking sheet or baking dish. Top each bowl with a slice of bread and shredded gruyere cheese. Broil until cheese is melted and browned.

  • What does French onion soup taste like? French onion soup tastes meaty from the beef bone broth, sweet from the caramelized onions, and comforting from the bread and cheese on top… all in one.
  • Is it healthy? Regular French onion soup is borderline. Broth and onions? Good. White bread on top? Meh. No worries though, we’re making healthy French onion soup today! This easy low carb French onion soup is grain-free and the bread used is low carb.
  • Is it keto friendly? Regular French onion soup is high in carbs and far from keto friendly. It’s made with regular bread, which adds a lot of carbs, and sometimes the broth even includes a flour roux as a thickener, which I think is totally unnecessary. Besides, onions are relatively high in carbs, too. Fortunately, this low carb French onion soup is a much better alternative for a keto diet . Still, because onions are relatively high in carbs compared to other vegetables, you also need to be mindful of serving size. Due to the onions, there are 12.3 grams net carbs per cup of this healthy French onion soup recipe – which is actually very filling and complete with cheesy topping. This carb count can be keto-friendly for many people following keto, but it does vary depending on your macros and for some may be too high.
  • Why did my onions burn or not caramelize? Caramelized onions are the key to great French onion soup – don’t rush them! If they are burning, not caramelizing, or you’re having some other issue with that step, please read the detailed guide on how to make caramelized onions here .
  • Does it matter what kind of onions are used? I used yellow onions, but feel free to use others if you like. Some people even like to mix up different kinds. From a keto standpoint, any carb differences between varieties are only slight.

TIP: Need to lower the carbs more? Reduce the onions from 2.5 pounds to 2 pounds, which will shave off about 2 grams per serving.

The Basic Keto Meal Formula

Eating keto doesn’t have to be complicated! While there are plenty of delicious easy keto recipes to choose from, you don’t even have to cook from a recipe to get started.

Simply follow the keto cheat sheet formula of protein + veggie + fat for your meals.

Be sure to choose a moderate amount of protein, only low carb vegetables (mostly ones that grow above ground), and generous fat to attain an optimal macro ratio. That’s approximately 60-75% of calories from fat, 20-25% protein, and 5-10% from carbohydrates. The table below will give you ideas for what to choose.

Pick A ProteinPick A VeggieAdd Fat
Beef Chicken Pork Eggs Lamb Turkey Fish Shellfish Protein powder VenisonCauliflower Broccoli Zucchini Leafy Greens Cucumbers Brussels Sprouts Cabbage Asparagus Radishes Bell Peppers Jicama CeleryButter Avocado Oil Cheese Bacon Avocado Lard Ghee Mayo Nuts MCT Oil

Understanding Macros

Macros are macronutrients for short. They include fat, protein, and carbohydrates.

You can calculate your own macros using the macro calculator , but the macro keto cheat sheet below will explain how to look at macros when following a keto lifestyle.

Carbs Are A Limit.

Keeping carbs low is what gets you into ketosis and keeps you there. Ketosis means that you’re using fat as your primary energy source instead of sugar, and requires keeping carbs very low.

A good starting point is 20-25 grams net carbs per day, but you can experiment after a few weeks to see if your body stays in ketosis at higher levels. People who are very active may be able to do more and stay in ketosis, up to around 50 grams per day.

“Carbs are a limit” means that you set a limit for how many carbs to eat per day and don’t exceed it. You don’t have to hit that limit, so if you’re under that’s okay, just don’t go over. Ideally most of your carbs would come from low carb vegetables, and if you’re eating enough veggies, you’ll usually get close to the limit naturally.

A common misconception is that reaching ketosis requires a certain macro ratio, but it’s really only restricting your carb intake that gets you there [ * ]. In the absence of sufficient carbs to use as energy, the body will switch to using fat as fuel. This is called the metabolic state of ketosis.

Protein Is A Goal.

Protein is made up of amino acids, the building blocks of all our cells. It’s a crucial for keeping our muscles strong and for many cellular functions [ * ].

“Protein is a goal” means that you always want to eat enough protein to reach the goal each day, but not exceed it too much. You want enough for your needs, but excess protein can trigger gluconeogenesis, which is protein being converted to sugar [ * ] and can kick you out of ketosis.

Fat Is A Lever.

Fat is the primary macronutrient in a keto lifestyle, because being in ketosis means that fat is your primary fuel source. Fat as a fuel source will come from your food, and if you are losing weight, from your body.

A big advantage of a keto lifestyle is the high fat intake. It keeps you full and satisfied, making it easier to stick to, and using it as the primary fuel source makes it easier on your body to burn body fat, with a lower chance of breaking down your muscle (provided you get enough protein).

Aside from reaching your protein goal and limiting your carbs, the remainder of your calories on a keto diet comes from fat.

Don’t fear fat – it’s your main energy source on keto, and getting enough of it trains your body to use fat for fuel instead of sugar. That means that as long as you are not overdoing your overall calorie intake, you’ll efficiently burn your body fat for fuel as well.

“Fat is a lever” means that you can increase or decrease your fat intake depending on your goals and hunger levels. Increase it (along with exercise) to gain muscle, or decrease it to lose weight.

Keto Food Swaps

One of my favorite challenges is creating recipes, or just discovering, keto food swaps. These are delicious keto replacements for traditionally high-carb or high-sugar foods.

So, I created this keto diet cheat sheet with all the swaps in one place! I also have more keto food swaps in my Easy Keto Cookbook .

Electrolyte Basics

Getting enough electrolytes is crucial for anyone, but especially so on a keto diet. The reason is that ketosis has a diuretic effect, which increases excretion of water and electrolytes, especially sodium [ * ]. This is often the cause of the keto flu.

For more details on electrolytes and avoiding keto flu, check out the full keto flu guide here .

The important thing to know about electrolytes is that replenishing them will keep keto flu away and keep your body functioning well. I always recommend an electrolyte drink and whole food sources of anything your body needs before resorting to supplements, so I made a list of what to eat to get each of the 3 major electrolytes – sodium, magnesium and potassium.

Here’s your keto diet cheat sheet for getting electrolytes from food:

SodiumMagnesiumPotassium
Bone broth Boullion cubes Bacon Salted nuts PicklesSeaweed Seeds Nuts Avocado Leafy greensPotassium chloride Avocado Bone broth Spinach Broccoli Mushrooms Beef Pork

Keto Diet Types

People follow a keto lifestyle for different reasons. Some do it just to lose weight, others are after better overall health, increased energy, and reduced inflammation.

Strictly speaking, the defining factor of a keto diet is the metabolic state of ketosis, which is achieved by restricting carbs. However, many people (myself included) also reduce or eliminate processed, inflammatory, or low-nutrient foods.

Below is your keto cheat sheet summary of the different ways that people follow keto. You choose what works best for your goals and lifestyle!

  • Strict Keto – Up to 20-30g net carbs daily, count all calories and macros, and eat clean, unprocessed foods.
  • Lazy Keto – Up to 20-30g net carbs daily, and track only net carbs OR eat keto foods without tracking.
  • Dirty Keto – Up to 20-30g net carbs daily, with “if it fits your macros” approach including processed foods.
  • Low Carb – Up to 50-100g net carbs daily, less strict.
