INSTRUCTIONS

* Note: See the "Parmesan Cheese Toast Points" recipe which is
included in this collection.
In a soup pot, heat the olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the
onions, garlic cloves, and bay leaves. Season with salt and pepper.
Saute the onion mixture until the onions are caramelized, about 7
minutes. Stir in the stock, minced garlic, basil, and thyme. Bring
the liquid up to a boil. 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
the soup into a shallow bowl. Place the Parmesan Cheese Toast Points
around the bowl. Garnish with parsley. This recipe yields 6 servings.
