What Goes Into It
Per serving (1 soup bowl)
gastroenterology Gut Health Insight
The onions in this soup bring some prebiotic fiber, which helps feed the good gut bacteria, and they also add a bit of natural sweetness when slow-cooked. Bay leaf and black pepper can make it feel lighter on the stomach, but the big thing here is the sodium from stock and cheese — this can be quite salty, so it may leave you feeling extra thirsty after. If you’re making it at home, use a low-sodium stock and add more onions for body instead of extra salt; that keeps the flavour deep without making the gut work overtime.
