Homemade Croutons are perfect for soups and salads. So easy and delicious you will never use store bought croutons again.

We are in the middle of one of our wettest winters I can ever remember here in the Pacifidc NW. So many cold, grey, wet and dreary days. My favorite lunch on one of these cold, dreary days is a bowl of soup.
But my favorite thing to do with that soup was to toast a piece of bread and then break the bread up into little pieces and top my soup with it. I loved the little bit of crunch that the toasted bread gave the soup.
I still love doing that but now I much prefer to top my soup with homemade croutons. Homemade croutons are so easy to make, I can have then done by the time my soup is ready.
How to Make Croutons
I always seem to end up with half a baguette or loaf of french bread on my counter that just ends up getting dried out and thrown away. Homemade croutons are the perfect solution. Just slice up the bread and then cut it into small pieces.
Drizzle your baking sheet with olive oil, add the cut up bread, drizzle over the top with more olive oil, sprinkle with sea salt and toss to coat.
Bake at 375 degrees F for 5 minutes and toss. Bake for another 5 minutes or until golden brown.
Store in an airtight container and add to salads or I just like to snack on them
