Preparation and cooking overview
Start with melting some clarified butter in a pot, then caramelize the onions until they're golden brown. Next, add a splash of vinegar to bring out the flavors, then pour in your stock and herbs. Let it all simmer together, filling your kitchen with a wonderful French cooking aroma. In about an hour and a half, you'll be ready to enjoy this cozy, delicious soup.
Chef's note
In our keto onion soup, we use dried thyme and parsley to add a gentle touch of herbs. Feel free to toss in a bay leaf or some rosemary if you're after a stronger herb flavor. Quick tip: pop the herbs in a tea bag, so you can easily take them out after cooking. This way, your soup stays smooth and hassle-free.

Chef's pro tip
Caramelizing onions can seem time-consuming, and you might want to speed up the process. However, patience is the key here. Stick to low and slow cooking. The extended caramelization time enriches the soup's flavor, which makes it deeper and more complex. Trust the process; the delicious outcome is well worth the wait.
