Slice garlic on an angle; set aside.
Put 1/3 C. Vito & Joe’s Extra Virgin Olive Oil into saucepan.
Put onions in saucepan and sauté covered in pan for 15‐30 minutes to get a nice DEEP golden brown caramelization on onions. (I like my onions very brown
Once onions are caramelized add the garlic glove slices.
Continue to sauté & stir onions and garlic together on low‐medium heat while you are preparing your bread.
While onions are sautéing prepare your bread. Chunk the bread into large chunks as well as setting some bread slices aside to serve on the side of your soup.

sprinkle all sides with salt & pepper and follow with one more brushing of your oil.
