This is a simple and rustic old-time
soup.
I'm Tess and tonight I'm making garlic
bread soup and it's going to be ready in
less than 30 minutes. So stay tuned.
Yes! Another soup recipe to add to the
playlist. You are going to like this one
for the fact that it is very easy... very...
budget friendly and very comforting.
You can make this garlic bread soup in less
than 30 minutes. So let's get started!
And by the way, you can find this recipe,
the list of ingredients and much more in
the show more section below.
In a saucepan on medium heat, I'm adding
about a quarter cup of good extra virgin
olive oil.
You want a good flavor olive oil because
the flavor will shine through in this soup.
And in goes one of the stars of
the soup and that is garlic... and lots of it!
I'm putting in a combination of minced
and sliced garlic as I like a bite of
garlic in this soup. Constantly stirring
and cooking for about a minute just to
get that awesome garlic flavor infused
in the oil.
Next I'm adding some diced onions and
mushrooms. Giving them a stir and cooking
for a minute and then I'm adding some
diced plum tomatoes. Stirring and cooking
for a couple more minutes or until the
tomatoes start to break down.
Now for some seasonings. I added a little
salt and black pepper and now I'm adding
about a tablespoon of paprika and about
a quarter teaspoon of cayenne pepper for
a little kick.
You can also use some red pepper flakes
or you can leave out. Giving everything a
good mix, stirring and cooking for about
a minute to get all those flavors
married together.
I wish you could smell this!
You are going to need about four cups of
bread cubes.
This is a great time to use stale bread
and you want to use a nice dense
loaf bread. This is not the time to use
pre-sliced bread. You want the bread cubes a
little thicker so they will hold their form.
I simply cubed the bread, place them
on a baking sheet and baked at 350 degrees for
about 15 minutes or until they were dry
and crunchy. They can be a little brown
but you just want to dry them out.
In goes my toasted bread cubes and
lightly tossing to get all the bread
coated with all those awesome flavors.
Now I'm adding in the chicken broth.
This is homemade but you can use a box
broth or stock. Just choose a low-sodium
so you can control the salt. You can also
use a vegetable, beef or even a seafood
stock. I'm throwing in some fresh chopped parsley.
I'm turning my heat up to high
and once the soup comes up to heat we
are ready to eat!
Yep! That easy! You could add some fresh
basil or spinach or maybe even grate
some Parmesan cheese on top. If you like
more of a tomato base you could add
more tomatoes or even some tomato paste.
But tonight I'm keeping it simple and
serving with a poached egg. The creamy
yolk really makes the soup special.
I hope you give this garlic bread soup a try.
