Garlic bread is a good accompaniment for all types of creamy soup and chowder. Yesterday we were not in mood to have rice stuff, so I just bake some garlic bread and cook some pumpkin soup for our dinner. This is the first time I make these two stuffs, and I decided to make from scratch. The garlic bread was great. It's crunchy and fragrant. However, the pumpkin soup turned out not so thick, due to too much fresh milk added. I should have cut down the milk portion into half.
See my nicely baked garlic bread? :)

Your home made garlic bread looks yummy!
aren't you supposed to use cream instead of milk??
Selba, it's fragrant and crispy. Not bad for the first try. :)
New kid, yes I use cream for thickening, but I double up the fresh milk portion accidentally, hehe......
Your garlic bread looks good.
P/S: Do you have the recipe for making pumpkin soup too? =D
I have started dipping the bread into the soup! ;)

Divine appointment and Mummy In Vain, I'll try my best to try out another time. Hopefully, it'll be a successful one.
By the way, Divine appointment, thanks for dropping by.
Only satisfying my eyes? How about some for my stomach too? Yours look so delicious! If you want a thicker pumpkin soup, you can reduce the water and add fresh cream instead of milk.
Food for Tots, actually I didn't add water at all, I used fresh milk as the soup base, and thickening by cream. Just that the milk portion is over limit, that's why the soup turned out not so creamy.
