Soups are very healthy and also easy to make, but I usually don’t get that urge to make soups but last week it was very chill here and I had few slices of homemade wheat bread left out so thought to have a soupy breakfast for the next day morning.
The breadsticks were a great combination with the soup.Last time I made with multigrain wheat flour and this time tried a combination of maida and wheat flour.
Hubby loved the breakfast with soup and while he was having his last sip he asked So did you reserve the breadslices for the clicks….?! Ahh atlast he asked…..;) I just smiled :)) And that’s a happy ending right?! 🙂
