Soup is in itself a great way of soul refreshing dish. Be it tomato, garlic – coriander, corn or clear bowl of hot soup.

When talking about add ups in the soup, it is mostly croutons, vinegar and chili. The sip full of amazing flavors and crisp quick bite is just what we need in winter evenings.

A liquid is not just limited to the body only when sick. But also some times it is recommended to prefer light suppers over heavy masalas. And it is a cherry on cake with a plate full of crunchy garlic bread croutons is the best.

My kids, they love croutons to the core of the crumbs. They even ask me to make them the garlic ones. They say it tastes very special and different from the ones they have been eating at outlets.

Croutons are pieces of bread, cut into squares and are widely used as seasoning for soups. These amazing bread square crisps can be eaten as a snack as well. On a wider side, it is taken mostly with soups and bowl of cream.

These crispy bread gestures are often mistaken for sides with soups only, but you can go for it with your favourite salad also. Caesar salad is the best example and dish to have croutons in it with chicken, lettuce and dressing.

I have made these tasty seasoned cubes of breads at home. The aroma around my house was so so so good that I cannot write it in words.

I that time felt as if I am passing through some bakers. I always was a deadly lover of the baking aroma that used to wander around my complex.
