I love cauliflower soup amma makes, it is very mild and soothing. During my childhood days I was forced to drink soups atleast twice a week but now I love soups but no one makes it for me I will be happy if someone makes piping hot soup and gives it to me…soup and breadsticks for breakfast,in my couch watching the rain through the windows…thats my perfect day to start….okay enough of day dreaming…now I have to come to reality right?! 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.

Next day morning, I woke up only to see the bread box empty, I didn’t tell hubby about the plan and he must have been very hungry when he returned from office late night so he finished off the bread….But my mind was fixed for a soup bread breakfast so at once kneaded the dough and set it to rise.By the time I finished packing mittus lunchbox my dough was ready so rolled the dough and pushed it into the oven and went to wave bye.And when I was back, my bread sticks were beautifully done….Yayy!! I just realised that I was ready for some unplanned cooking / baking too
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?!
