OK, this is the easiest best French onion soup ever. Obviously omit the bread, unless you are on the grains rung. And you can use a little xanthan in place of the flour, or just omit that as well. This came from my sister and I just love this soup!! (I use the canned Swanson broth). Oh and I broil it to get the cheese nice and brown. Be careful, this soup is really HOT (temperature wise)

1 can coconut milk
1-2 juicy limes squeezed
