Ingredients
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Submerge the sealed soup bag in the boiling water and cook for 20 minutes. Carefully remove the bag (it will be very hot), cut open one corner and pour the soup into a serving bowl.
- Microwave alternative: Cut one corner of the bag and pour the soup into a microwave-safe container (do not microwave the bag). Cover loosely with microwave-safe plastic wrap or a damp paper towel. Microwave on high for 5-6 minutes, stirring halfway through. The container and soup will be very hot.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Place the garlic bread on a lightly oiled baking sheet. Bake until golden brown, about 12 minutes. Separate into individual slices and serve alongside the soup.
Recipe Tips
For extra richness, stir in a splash of heavy cream or a pat of butter before serving.
If you prefer a smoother soup, blend it with an immersion blender after heating.
The garlic bread can be broiled for the last 1-2 minutes for extra crunch-watch closely to avoid burning.
FAQ
Can I use a different type of bread for dipping?
Absolutely! Crusty bread, sourdough or even grilled cheese slices work wonderfully with this soup.
How do I store leftovers?
Store leftover soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave. Garlic bread is best enjoyed fresh but can be reheated in the oven.
Can I add other vegetables to the soup?
Yes! Diced carrots, celery or roasted red peppers would be delicious additions. Simply sauté them before adding the soup or stir in pre-cooked vegetables.
