Ingredients
- ¾ cup salted butter
- ½ cup sliced yellow onions
- ¼ cup sliced green onions
- 1 teaspoon erythritol or 2 to 4 drops liquid stevia
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1/8 teaspoon xanthan gum
- 4 cups beef bone broth
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 to 2 sprigs fresh thyme
- 1 bay leaf
- ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 6 oz pork rinds
- ½ cup Gruyère cheese shredded
- ½ cup Parmesan cheese grated
Instructions
-
In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the butter. Add the yellow and green onions and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, until translucent. Add the erythritol and continue to cook, stirring frequently with a wooden spoon, until the onions brown, about 5 minutes.
-
Add the garlic and xanthan gum and blend well, then add the broth, vinegar, thyme, bay leaf, salt, and pepper. Cover and simmer on low heat for about 20 minutes.
-
Meanwhile, preheat the broiler. Cut each pork rind into 3 or 4 “croutons.”
-
Divide the broth between 4 ovenproof bowls. Cover each bowl with one-quarter of the pork rinds and 2 tablespoons of each of the cheeses. Broil until the cheese is melted.
