I love making soup and having a good bread stick to accompany it, is the perfect meal. I love this recipe because it comes together quickly, you can make it ahead of time and even add in anything you’d like. Our favorite is parmesan and garlic, however we’ve had sesame seed, poppy seed, garlic and red pepper…the flavors are endless. These are even a great addition to your favorite pasta meal!
