Spread bread slices with herb butter, toast on the hot lid for 3–4 minutes Flip, toast for another 2–3 minutes until the bread is golden brown and crispy Step 4: FINISH SOUP & SERVE Roughly mash the soup or partially purée – leave some chunks for character Stir in cream, season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg Garnish with fresh parsley Fill bowls with soup, place garlic bread next to it and enjoy immediately ✅ TIPS FOR PERFECT RESULTS: The BIOL Dutch Oven lid as a griddle is the highlight of this recipe! Place the lid upside down over coals – the flat inner surface is ideal for toasting Don't purée the soup completely – some chunkiness adds character If you don't have an immersion blender: simply mash roughly with a fork Bacon gives the soup a wonderful smoky flavor 🍷 SERVING SUGGESTION: Serve directly by the campfire in wooden bowls or deep enamel bowls. The crispy garlic bread from the lid for dipping. An outdoor meal that brings everyone together. 📊 NUTRITIONAL INFORMATION (per serving, without garlic bread): Calories Protein Fat Carbohydrates approx. 320 kcal 8 g 14 g 42 g
