Onion, Potato and Fresh Sea Fish Soup

Why people make this soup

Onion may seem like a humble, everyday vegetable — but it has an impressive nutritional profile that Nourilo considers worth highlighting. Onions contain quercetin, a flavonoid compound that research has shown can exhibit oestrogen-like activity in the body. This means regular consumption may help support bone density in women, particularly around and after menopause when natural oestrogen levels decline and bone loss accelerates. In this soup, onion is paired with potato — another underestimated vegetable that is rich in potassium, has wound-healing properties, and supports muscle and nerve function — and pan-fried sea fish for calcium and clean protein. The result is a light, comforting everyday soup that is approachable for all ages.

What studies say about the key ingredients

Traditional use is not the same as clinical proof. Here is the strongest human research we found for each ingredient, limitations included.

  • Ginger · Meta-analysis, 23 studies · 2022
    Overall, acute and delayed nausea and vomiting did not differ significantly between ginger and control groups. A subgroup taking 1 g/day or less for over four days had less acute vomiting (OR 0.30).Limitation: Clinical heterogeneity between trials required subgroup analyses, and the authors state that sufficiently large, high-quality RCTs are still needed.PubMed 36501010 · 3 more ginger studies
