Serving options

There are so many ways you can have soup! Here are the different ways I can think of:

• Serve with croutons (by toasting your own favourite bread and cutting into squares)

• Serve with your favourite toast (sourdough, turkish bread, multigrain, etc) to dunk and go

• Or go completely crazy and serve in a capsicum or coconut for something different. Check out this website I found for some creative ways to serve your soup!
