Method

Soup Preparation

  1. 1

    Caramelize Onions and Leeks

    In a large pot over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the sweet onions and leeks, stirring occasionally. Cook for about 20-25 minutes until the onions and leeks are caramelized and golden brown.

  2. 2

    Add Garlic and Herbs

    Add minced garlic, thyme, bay leaf, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Stir and cook for another 2-3 minutes until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Add Chicken Stock

    Pour in the chicken stock and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for 30 minutes.

Toast Preparation

  1. 4

    Prepare Pumpernickel Toasts

    While the soup is simmering, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush the pumpernickel slices with olive oil and place them on a baking sheet. Bake for about 10 minutes until crispy and golden.

Serving

  1. 5

    Serve the Soup
