Weather is getting colder and I am in the mood for something that is comforting and will warm my heart. Soup is always the first thing that crosses my mind when I am in that kind of mood. I love this recipe, as the smells that fill up the room brings a smile to my face. Ahhh…so good!! In addition, there are very low carbs for all you Keto followers. I hope you enjoy!

As always, thanks for Spending Time In My Kitchen!!

Ingredients

4 sweet onions
Tbl minced garlic
4 oz – 1 stick of butter
drizzle of olive oil
1/2 cup dry vermouth or dry white wine
3 springs thyme
64 oz beef broth
Salt and pepper
Cup Benedictine & Brandy liquor (B & B)
4 Mini chaffles – Keto
4 Slices off baguette – Non Keto
2 cups shredded Gruyere
Mini Chaffles
2 large eggs
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
4 Tbl unblanched almond flour
1/2 tsp baking powder (optional)
1/2 Tbl herb seasoning. This is optional, however, I like to add some additional seasoning to the chaffle. An herb seasoning
works well for this recipe.

Directions

Cut onions in half. Then slice medium-thin.
Melt butter in a Dutch Oven; add onions and garlic.
Drizzle a little olive oil on top and toss to coat the onions. Place on top of stove. Set heat to medium-low.
Have patience; in order to get a nice dark carmelization, it will take a good hour. It will be worth it!!
Add vermouth and scrape bottom of pan to deglaze the pan to get all those nice carmelized bits off the bottom. Cook an additonal 5 minutes.
Add broth and thyme sprigs; turn heat up to boil and then drop to a simmer. Cook for 15 minutes
Add B & B and let simmer for another 15 minutes
Salt and pepper to taste
Mini Chaffles
Add eggs into a bowl and wisk well.
Add cheese, almond flour, baking powder and preferred seasoning.
Mix well.
Heat up your mini waffle maker per instructions.
Pour in just enough of the “batter” to cover the waffle grids. Do not overfill.
Close top and heat the waffle per mini waffle maker instructions.
My suggestion is even if your waffle maker says the waffle is done, leave it in till you don’t see any more steam coming out. Steam indicates there is still moisture in the waffle, and we want it dry.
Plating
Set your bowls on a baking tray. Add a small amount of cheese into each bowl. Ladle onion mixture and broth into crock/bowl that is oven safe.
Top with the chaffle and additional cheese.
Put into oven and bake or broil to get that cheese a nice golden brown and starts to bubble enticing you dive into that bowl and bring out a spoon of goodness!
Time to enjoy!!
