Home Made Garlic Bread With Pumpkin Soup



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? :)

Garlic Bread
Serves 2

Ingredients:

3/4 French loaf
3 tbsp salted butter
5 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
2 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil

Method:

1. Slice the French loaf to 2.5cm each.

2. Spread a layer of salted butter to each loaf slice.

3. Heat extra virgin olive oil in a pan, and lightly saute the chopped garlic. Off the fire.

4. Preheat the oven at 180C for 5 minutes.

5. Spread the garlic to each slice of loaf and arrange them on baking pan.

6. Bake the garlic bread for 8 minutes under 150 and finally 5 minutes under 180.

7. Serve hot with soup of your favorite.

    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......

    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.
