French cheese soup with garlic croutons

Cheese soups are very simple to prepare, but the result is great: soft cheese gives the soup a rich, creamy flavor. Cheese soups are nutritious, which means they'll keep you warm on a cold day.

Ingredients

• chicken fillet - 400 g
• soft processed cheese - 200 g
• potatoes - 3 pcs.
• carrots - 1 pc.
• salt, ground pepper, allspice - to taste
• vegetable oil - 2 tbsp. l.
• bay leaf - 3 pcs.
• fresh herbs to taste
• for toasts - baguette (or any other bread), garlic, olive oil

Directions

1. Boil 1.5 liters of water in a saucepan, cut the chicken into small pieces and put it in boiling water.
2. As soon as the broth starts to boil, add salt, a couple of allspice and black peppercorns, bay leaves. Cook from the moment of boiling for 20 minutes.
3. Peel the potatoes and cut into cubes. We take out the meat, put the potatoes and cook it for 5-7 minutes.
4. We clean and rub the carrots. We do light frying in sunflower oil. Salt and pepper lightly. Add the finished frying to the soup and cook for another 5-7 minutes.
5. Add the processed cheese, mix well and turn off the heat.
6. Cut the baguette into long slices. Peel one clove of garlic. Dip bread in olive oil on both sides. Rub on both sides with garlic (cut in half lengthwise) and put in the oven for a few minutes at a temperature of 190-200 degrees. Serve the bread to the soup.
