Preparation

Note from Ricardo

To make the brioche croutons, preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). In an ovenproof skillet over medium heat, brown diced brioche in 2 tbsp of butter. Transfer to the oven and bake until crispy. Let cool.

With this recipe, you can serve eight bowls of soup or a dozen appetizer portions in tea cups or shot glasses, Very convenient for a potluck dinner where people are not necessarily sitting around a table.

You can double the recipe and freezes it. If you freeze the soup, it may separate when reheating. Simply purée it again in the blender to give it a smooth texture.
