- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup light cream or half and half
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 cup finely grated parmesan cheese
- Thinly slice the green onions keeping the light green and white slices separate from the dark green slices. Melt the butter in a medium soup pot and add the white and light green onions along with the minced garlic. Saute until all becomes soft and fragrant.
- Stir in the bread cubes and add the chicken broth, salt and pepper. Bring up to a boil and then down to a simmer. Simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
