Bready for Love

Italy, you've done it again. I've heard people talk about Italian Bread Soup before and I've always thought, "How could that be good?" What was I thinking? This is the greatest soup ever! I'll never make my old Tomato Soup recipe again. The parmesan and bread take place of a Grilled Cheese Sandwich and you'll never need a single cracker, if that's your thing. It's thick, it's delicious and it only took me maybe 15 minutes to make. Now the world is just begging me to try this whole "bread salad" thing I've heard about.

What other wonderful things can I say about this soup? It made use of a baguette that's just been sitting half eaten on my counter all week and had dried out to nothing. The torn crust pieces were the best part because it still had a bit of chew to it in the soup. I imagine that would have softened by the time it was to eat leftovers though. If you can somehow get hold of a bunch of baguette end crusts, perhaps by eating a bunch of baguette middles, then I recommend using that. It's also healthy! Tomatoes, garlic, onions and beans are super nutritious. Alright, I'm off to have seconds.
