How to Serve 🍲

1. While the soup is simmering, cut the bread into croutons that fit inside of your soup ramekins.

2. Transfer the bread to a sheet tray lined with parchment paper and bake for 5-10 minutes or until the croutons are completely dry and slightly browned.  Reserve until ready to serve.
3. Once the croutons are baked, turn the oven to broil.
4. Once the soup has simmered and is smelling delicious, season the soup to taste with black pepper, sherry vinegar, and Balinese Truffle Salt.
