Dietitian Notes / Recipe Tips
Hint: Use salt reduced chicken stock for a heart friendly recipe.
You can swap croutons in this recipe for slice of multigrain bread or make your own croutons. To do so, simply chop a slice of multigrain bread into thick chunks. Drizzle with small amount of olive oil and toast in the oven for 10 minutes on 180 degrees Celsius. Voila, ready to add onto your soup.
