Light chicken broth with buttery homemade croutons elevates this soup above classic French onion.
Ingredients:
  • 3 tablespoons butter or margarine
  • 1 cup 3/4-inch cubes day-old French bread (crusts removed)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 medium white onion, finely chopped (1/2 cup)
  • 4 cups water
  • 2 tablespoons chicken soup base (from 8-oz jar)
  • 16 medium green onions, sliced (1 cup)
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 4 tablespoons shredded Parmesan cheese
Instructions:
  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Melt 3 tablespoons of butter in a 15x10x1-inch pan or cookie sheet with sides in the oven. Toss bread cubes and garlic powder in the melted butter until well combined. Bake for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the bread cubes are crisp and golden brown.
  • In a 2-quart saucepan, gently melt 3 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Saute the white onion until translucent for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add water, soup base, green onions, and pepper. Bring to a gentle boil, then lower the heat and simmer uncovered for 10 minutes. Give it a final stir before serving.
  • Garnish each portion with 1/4 cup of croutons and a sprinkle of 1 tablespoon of cheese.
