Ingredients
  • 4 slices crusty Italian bread, 1 1/2 inches thick
  • 4 T. extra-virgin olive oil, plus extra for drizzling
  • 1 Large onion, chopped
  • 6 garlic cloves, minced
  • 6 c. chicken broth
  • 1/2 c. heavy cream
  • 1 t. minced fresh thyme (or 1/2 t. dried)
  • Salt and Pepper to taste
  • 1/2 c. grated Parmesan cheese

Directions
  1. Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 475 degrees. Place bread slices on baking sheet, brush tops with 1 T. oil, and bake until golden brown and crusty, 8 to 10 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, heat 3 Tablespoons oil in Dutch oven or heavy pot over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add onion and cook until lightly browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add broth, cream, and thyme and simmer until onions are softened, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Cut bread into 1-inch chunks and place in soup bowls. Ladle soup over bread, sprinkle with Parmesan, and drizzle with olive oil. Serve. YUM!

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 food on a cold winter's day :)


One of my favorite things. Thanks Shandy.


This looks fantastic!
