About French onion

French Onion Soup is a classic dish from French cuisine, renowned for its rich flavor and comforting qualities. Traditionally made with a base of caramelized onions, beef or vegetable stock, and dry white wine, it's served topped with a slice of toasted bread and melted Gruyère cheese. The onions provide a natural sweetness while offering some fiber and antioxidants, including quercetin, which may support heart health. The broth adds hydration and can be low-calorie when prepared without excess fats. However, its nutritional profile can vary depending on preparation, as higher amounts of cheese or butter can increase saturated fat and sodium levels. Moderation is key to enjoying its warm, hearty goodness while balancing your dietary needs. Perfect for colder seasons, French Onion Soup remains a timeless favorite in French culinary tradition.
