Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Cut a circle in the top of the 1 large bread loaf and scoop out the inside, leaving a 1/2 inch thick shell. Tear the removed bread into bite-size pieces.

  2. Step 2

    Heat the 2 tbsp olive oil in a pot over medium. Add the 1 sliced onion and cook until soft and golden, about 8 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Add the 2 minced garlic cloves and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

  4. Step 4

    Pour in the 4 cups vegetable broth and bring to a simmer. Add the torn bread pieces and cook until they soften and thicken the soup, about 5 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Ladle the soup into the bread bowl and top with the 2 tbsp butter. Serve immediately.
