French Onion Soup is a timeless comfort food featuring caramelized onions and a rich, flavorful broth. This French delicacy is the perfect choice for a chilly day, offering warmth and indulgence in every spoonful.
In our Paleo version of French Onion Soup, we added mushrooms as a rich source of protein. You can use any type of mushroom you prefer, as they all work well in this recipe. Button and oyster mushrooms bring a slightly sweeter flavor, while shiitake and portobello mushrooms offer a savory taste. Beyond their flavor, mushrooms provide impressive health benefits, supporting the immune system and promoting a healthy gut. [1,2]
If you don’t want to take your chances with storebought beef bone broth and the possible additives it contains, you can make homemade beef bone broth in the comfort of your own home. You can save the leftover bone broth and make pork chops or wild game chili by storing the broth in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to seven days.
