I used my homemade chicken broth that I froze earlier but a regular store bought chicken broth is just as delicious in this recipe. Big cubes of crusty bread is a must along with baking the bread slices to achieve a healthy golden brown color. Read more Presentation ends up being just as beautiful as the flavor and aroma.

I adore rustic, Tuscan recipes like these -- I've posted a few, (Ribollita, Panzanella, Zuppa Mitunn) including a couple of 'bread soups' -- but I've never thought to try it with cream! This looks absolutely devine! Thanks, Shandy :) Perfect comfort...more
