INSTRUCTIONS
Note: See the "Bayou Blast - {Emeril's Creole Seasoning}" recipe which
is included in this collection. Heat oil in a soup pot over high heat
and add onions, garlic cloves, bay leaves, salt, and 7 turns of
pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until onions are caramelized, about
7 minutes. Don't let onions get too dark; they should be sweet-tasting
and a rich golden-brown color. Stir in stock, minced garlic, basil and
thyme and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer about 40
minutes. Turn heat back up to high, whisk in bread and cream and
continue whisking until bread has disintegrated into the soup, about
10 minutes. Whisk in Parmesan and remove from heat. Puree soup in a
food processor or blender; do this in batches, if necessary. For
Creole Croutons, saute the day-old bread in olive oil. Drain on paper
towels and immediately toss with 1 tablespoon Bayou Blast, or to
taste. To serve, allow 1 generous cup per portion topped with
croutons. This recipe yields 4 to 5 servings. Recipe Source: ESSENCE
