Nutritional values

The classic recipe from Berlin warms from the inside and provides a thick portion of zinc for good defences. Because there are plenty of vegetables, vitamins and fibre are not neglected. This is a great secret weapon against colds!

The onions not only give a strong taste, but also a beautiful colour, because they are added to the broth with the skin.
