Broccoli cheese soup with pasta crisps
This soup needs body and texture to round out a weeknight meal. Pasta stirred in adds substance, while garlicky buttered bread crisps give you something to crunch into and soak through the creamy broth.

To buy
- 2 slices sliced bread
From your shelf
- 1 can (10.75 ounces) Potato broccoli cheese soup
Staples
- 1/2 cup pasta
- 3 tablespoons oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- to taste salt
- to taste pepper
- Bring a pot of salted water to boil and cook 1/2 cup pasta until tender, about 8 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- While the pasta cooks, mince 2 cloves garlic and brush 3 tablespoons oil across 2 slices of bread; scatter the garlic and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper over both slices. Place on a baking sheet and bake at 375°F (190°C) until crisp and golden, about 5 minutes, while the pasta finishes.
- Empty 1 can soup into a pot and stir in 1 can water. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until steaming through, about 3 minutes. Add the cooked pasta and season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Pour the soup into bowls and break the bread crisps into large pieces over each bowl, letting some sink into the broth and some stay on top.
Note Swap the bread for croutons or crush 2 crackers over each bowl if bread is out. Soup keeps covered in the fridge for three days. Serve with a simple green salad or steamed spinach on the side to stretch it.
