Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Peel and chop garlic. Transfer to a medium saucepan, add chicken broth, and bring to a slight boil. Remove soup from the heat and cover with a lid; let stand for 10 minutes.
  2. Step 2

    Meanwhile, butter bread slices and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and paprika. Place in a toaster oven and toast on the medium setting (5 or 6) until crusty-just don't burn it. Remove toast from the oven and use a serrated knife to cut into small cubes.
  3. Step 3

    Divide bread cubes between 4 soup bowls. Sprinkle with sea salt and lemon-pepper seasoning. Use a ladle to stir soup, then scoop broth and garlic pieces and fill the bowls. Stir until bread cubes are well mixed, then serve.
