Raise the heat and continue to cook the onion/garlic mixture uncovered, stirring frequently, until deep golden, about 10-15 minutes longer. Add the broth, bread, bouquet garni*, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for about 15 minutes. Remove the bouquet garni and puree the soup in a blender. Strain the soup and put back in the pot.
