A chicken broth base makes this a little lighter than French onion soup. Buttery homemade croutons are the crowning touch.

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 tablespoons butter or margarine
1 cup 3/4-inch cubes day-old French bread (crusts removed)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
3 tablespoons butter or margarine
1 medium white onion, finely chopped (1/2 cup)

2 tablespoons chicken soup base (from 8-oz jar)
