Onion soup is a classic dish rooted in French cuisine, traditionally crafted with caramelized onions simmered in a savory broth, often beef or vegetable-based. Commonly topped with crusty bread and melted cheese, it offers a hearty and flavorful experience. The soup's rich depth comes from the slow cooking of onions, which enhances their natural sweetness. Onions are low in calories and a good source of antioxidants, vitamins C, and fiber, contributing to immune support and heart health. The broth provides hydration and essential minerals, while the addition of bread and cheese introduces carbohydrates and fats, making it energy-dense but higher in calories and sodium. Choose lighter broth options and whole-grain bread to enhance its nutritional value. Onion soup embodies comfort and indulgence while offering some health benefits when enjoyed mindfully.
