Garlic Soup in Italian style is such a classic soup. I had it cod lunch today. Loved it. The best part is it’s ideal for cold weather, rainy weather and when you feel low. The homemade croutons added gave such a lovely texture to the soup. Homemade croutons is so healthy in comparison to the store bought. Let’s get to the recipe #MadhubishsKitchen #GarlicSoup
