    Recipe Introduction


    Make a big batch, freeze in 2 cup portions, and use in recipes that call for 'cream of' soups.

    List of Ingredients




    4 cups onion, peeled and chopped
    2 cups garlic, peeled and chopped
    2 Tbs. olive oil
    2 Tbs. butter
    1 1/2 quarts chicken broth
    parsley stems, thyme sprigs and bay leaf, tied together
    2 cups old French Bread, torn into 1/2-inch pieces
    1 cup half and half cream
    Salt and pepper

    Recipe



    In a large heavy pot, saute onions and garlic in butter and oil. Stir frequently over low to medium heat for about 30 minutes.

    Tie parsley stems, thyme sprigs and bay leaf together with string.

    Add chicken broth and herb bundle to pot and bring to a boil. Stir in bread cubes and simmer 10 minutes, until bread is soft.

    Remove herb bundle and puree soup in blender. Strain through medium sized strainer.

    Heat and whisk in more chicken broth if the soup is too thick. Add half-and-half. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
