Instructions

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.
