Garlic Bread Soup
GARLICY BREAD SOUP
Recipe courtesy of Emeril Lagasse
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cups chopped onions
1/4 cup finely chopped garlic
1 bay leaf
Pinch of crushed red pepper
Salt
2 quarts chicken stock
2 cups diced day old French bread
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano Cheese
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley leaves
In a large saucepan, over medium heat, add the olive oil. When the
oil is hot, add the onions, garlic, crushed bay leaf, and
crushed red pepper. Season with salt. Saute until slightly
caramelized, about 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in the stock. Bring the
liquid up to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and simmer for 40
minutes. Turn the heat up and whisk in the bread and cream.
Continue whisking until the bread has dissolved into the soup, about
10 minutes. With a hand-held blender, puree the soup
until smooth. Whisk in the Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese. Season with
salt and pepper. Ladle into individual soup bowls and
serve. Garnish with parsley.
