Notes
- Where can I find gluten-free baguettes or bread? Most grocery stores offer a variety of gluten-free bread options. If you can't find Schar baguettes, substitute your favorite gf bread. The bread should be substantial enough to soak up the soup without falling apart and be sure to toast it as toasting brings out the flavor.
- Can I cook this recipe without wine? Prefer not to cook with wine? No problem, just leave it out.
- Can I use any type of cheese for the topping? Certainly, you can use your favorite cheese for the topping, as long as it's labeled as gluten-free. Gruyère, Provolone, and Muenster are popular choices.
- What goes with French onion soup? Have a cup on its own or pair it with this messaged kale salad or pomegranate spinach salad or with a slice of this delicious sweet potato pie.
- Can I prepare gluten-free French onion soup in advance? Yes, you can make the soup ahead of time and store it in the fridge for a day or two. Reheat it gently on the stovetop and add the toasted gluten-free baguette slices and cheese just before broiling and serving.
- Can I freeze gluten-free French onion soup? Yes, you can freeze the soup without the toasted bread and cheese. Thaw and reheat it on the stovetop, then add the fresh toppings and broil before serving.
- Can I make French onion soup low carb? If you're a low-carber like me, you can skip the flour, the baguette, and the wine. With only 6.9 net carbs, you can enjoy all the flavors of this healthy soup. It's so toasty good, you won't miss the bread.
