Nutritional values

This piquant onion soup provides plenty of fiber, with one portion already covering half your daily requirement. 

If you're pregnant and want to buy Pecorino, ask if it is made from raw milk. If it is, don't use the cheese and instead, refine the onion soup with a dash of sour cream.
