There is nothing like homemade croutons, and no kitchen is complete without them. Yea, they are great for salads - but I also use them to top off soup... one of my favorites is cream of tomato soup, topped with some homemade seasoned croutons! I also like having them around to nibble on when I just have the munchies, and want that little something for crunch. With all the types of bread and seasonings available, the combination you use to make your croutons is limitless! So, don't through away that stale bread - cube it up and stock up your pantry with homemade croutons! Enjoy!
