Step 1
Melt the 2 tbsp butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the 1 chopped onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Step 2
Pour in the 4 cups vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes, until the broth is flavorful and slightly reduced.
Step 3
Stir in the 1 cup heavy cream and heat through, about 2 minutes, until the soup is hot and steaming but not boiling.
Step 4
Ladle the soup into bowls. Top each with 1/4 cup croutons, a sprinkle of fresh parsley, and a drizzle of 1/2 tbsp balsamic glaze.
