Tips

Serving Suggestion:

  • Garlic Toast
  • 4 slices rye or wholegrain sourdough
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cloves of garlic, cut in half

While preparing the soup I like to make a little Garlic Toast to serve alongside.

Brush both sides of the bread with olive oil. Rub the garlic over the oiled bread on both sides. Heat a medium fry pan over medium heat. Fry the bread on both sides so that it browns and crisps evenly. As it heats, rub garlic over again reinfusing the flavour. Repeat for each slice of bread and serve along with the soup.
