Shave or grate some Parmesan cheese over the top of each serving of soup if you like. During cooking, the bread pieces become soft like dumplings and release starch, which helps thicken the soup.

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 ounces country bread, torn into 1-inch pieces (3 cups)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, cut into 1/4-inch pieces
3 medium carrots, halved lengthwise and cut crosswise 1/4 inch thick
2 celery stalks, cut crosswise 1/4 inch thick
4 cloves garlic, smashed
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1/2 head green cabbage, quartered, thinly sliced crosswise (6 cups)
2 cans (14 1/2 ounces each) reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 cup fresh parsley leaves

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Spread bread in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake until pieces are dry, about 15 minutes. Remove from oven, and set aside.
  • In a large pot over medium-high heat, heat oil. Add onion, carrots, celery, and garlic; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are softened, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in tomato paste; cook, stirring, 1 minute.
  • Add cabbage, broth, 2 cups water, and toasted bread. Simmer over medium heat until soup is thickened, 15 to 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, and stir in parsley.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my soup turned out really watery. It wasn't creamy and flavorful like I expected. I think I might have added too much water.

I thought this recipe was a bit too complicated for my liking. There were a lot of ingredients and steps involved, and it took me a long time to make. The soup itself was good, but I don't think I'll be making it again anytime soon.

This soup was okay. The flavor was a bit bland for my taste, and the croutons were too hard. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.
