Stale bread can make a simple broth more filling and, in fact, if you look into the etymology of the word “soup,” it originally meant “bread soaked in broth.” Our bread soup is a translation of an Ecuadorian recipe that sometimes calls for meat-based stock, but our version uses a humble mixture of milk and water. Make it when you need a warm hug or don’t feel like making a trip to the grocery store.
