Calorie content is completely dependent upon ingredients and how it is made but that being said, ON AVERAGE a serving of 1 CUP (8 oz.) without cheese or croutons is about 80 calories (Example Panera Bread's version is 80 calories without cheese or croutons)
Add cheese and croutons and of course the calories will increase, a LOT!
For instance, Ruby Tuesday's Baked French Onion soup is 547 Calories!!!! That's a BIG difference and it includes the cheese and croutons and is about 2 cups of soup per serving.
Applebee's serving of their French Onion soup comes in at 388 calories.
A cup of Progresso's French Onion soup, with a slice of diet bread (toasted) and a slice of reduced fat cheese (see the Hungry Girl's Recipe Link provided) comes in at 170 Calories.
There's no perfect answer for this other than to think in terms of keeping the cheese and croutons off to get a minimum amount of calories!
Eight ounces the French onion soup has around 80 calories out of which 27 calories come form fats
