Vegetable Soup with Infused Garlic Croutons

I love experimenting with flavors of soups. They can be made with 5 ingredients, or 50. They can be completed in 15 - 20 mins, or cooked over several hours. In summers, they’re served refreshingly chilled, and in winters, steaming hot & soul-soothing.This heavenly & delicious, twice-medicated soup is usually made in winters, in our home, and served warm. A hearty soup, along with some crusty bread & simple salad - it is my favorite meal in the dead of winter. Since it is a vegetable soup that is very easy to make, I never think twice, before preparing it. All you’ve got to do is fill a soup pot with your favorite vegetables, herbs & spices, and add some liquid to cover & cook. It has no choice, but to turn out tasty. If you like it rich, add shredded cheese & sour cream, to garnish.Packed with your favorite veggies, this soup makes a healthy, happy, winter meal. Because everyone needs a quick, easy vegetable soup recipe, here’s my version to help you out.
