we have had lots of complications after COVID, in my family. I have been cooking a lot onion soup - onions are supposed to strengthen the immune system and are anti-inflammatory. Now the result tastes good, and I think it helped them to get over that COVID shit. (however I guess there isn't a lot of science in this diatribe...)

Not that I could really tell, after having it twice.

Edit: having the disease, not your soup. I bet it tastes wonderful.

"We suggest that flavonoids as critical nutritional supplements, are suitable for the alleviation and shortening of the period associated with the post‐COVID‐19 syndrome."

Flavenoids are onion extracts, Quercetin is one of them.
