TIPS
Here are some helpful tips for Healing Onion Bone Broth Soup:
- Low And Slow Onion Cooking: Cook onions gently to draw out their natural sweetness and avoid burning.
- Fresh Garlic Timing: Add garlic after onions to avoid bitterness and maintain its health benefits.
- Bone Broth Quality: Use a slow-simmered, gelatin-rich broth for maximum healing properties.
- Flavour Booster: A splash of balsamic vinegar or dry white wine can enhance the depth.
- Optional Toppings: Sprinkle with chopped parsley or grated Parmesan for an elegant finish.
VARIATIONS
- Vegan Adaptation: Use mushroom broth and caramelised leeks instead of bone broth and onions.
- More Herbs: Add bay leaf or rosemary for an extra herbaceous touch.
- Add Protein: Stir in shredded beef or diced cooked chicken to make it heartier.
- Low Fodmap Version: Use green tops of spring onions and garlic-infused oil in place of raw garlic and onion.
- Cheesy Top: Add a slice of toasted sourdough and melt Gruyère cheese over the top for a French onion-style upgrade.
