Mod de preparare supa crema de legume:

Se pune apa la fiert intr- o oala (aproximativ 4 L). Legumele se spala, se curata si se vor taia bucati mari. Legumele taiate sunt adaugate in oala. Se lasa supa la fiert aproximativ 20 de minute (sau pana cand legumele sunt bine fierte). Se ia oala de pe foc si se va adauga: usturoiul (dat prin presa), smantana lichida, sare si piper. Supa se mixeaza cu un mixer vertical. Eu am decorat cu patrunjel proaspat taiat, susan, ardei iute si turmeric.

Mod de preparare crutoane:

Tai feliile de paine cubulete si le pui intr-un bol. Peste ele adaugi: uleiul, sarea, piperul si usturoiul (dat prin presa). Se amesteca cu o spatula. Dupa cubuletele de paine sunt puse intr-o tava tapetata cu hartie de copt. Crutoanele se dau la cuptor (preincalzit la 200 °C) timp de 12-15 minute (sau pana cand sunt bine rumenite).

Method of preparation for creamy vegetable soup: Bring approximately 4 liters of water to a boil in a pot. Wash, peel, and roughly chop the vegetables. Add the chopped vegetables to the pot. Let the soup simmer for about 20 minutes (or until the vegetables are well cooked). Remove the pot from the heat and add the pressed garlic, heavy cream, salt, and pepper. Blend the soup using an immersion blender. I garnished with freshly chopped parsley, sesame seeds, chili pepper, and turmeric.

Method of preparation for croutons: Cut the bread slices into cubes and place them in a bowl. Add the olive oil, salt, pepper, and pressed garlic. Mix with a spatula. Place the bread cubes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake the croutons in a preheated oven at 200°C (392°F) for 12-15 minutes (or until they are golden brown).
