4 With Shallots
Shallots are another type of onion that will taste excellent when added to your French onion soup. To make this one, you are going to simply add the shallots at the same time as the onion and garlic. The result is something that is more similar to a beef bourguignon.
Shallots are sweet, they are rich, and they are fantastic at bringing a little more flavor out of everything else in the mixture. They also happen to provide a bunch of new health benefits, which include reducing cholesterol, blood, pressure, and the risk of diabetes. They help to boost blood circulation, and might also be effective at combating infections and bacteria as a type of natural antibiotic.
In short, the benefits of shallots are very similar to the benefits of onion and garlic, which allows you to really double down on those advantages. You’ll get the vasodilation that helps to widen the veins and arteries so that more blood can get around the body, and help to fend off germs.
Many people forget to think of onion as a vegetable with any nutritional value, because you don’t typically see it placed on the side of a slice of meat – but it’s highly nutritious so you shouldn’t write it off!
