Toast of the Week : Gluten Free Bread, Turning Lemons into Lemonade

We were making a vegetable soup today and my husband wanted Gluten Free Bread to go with it. I was intending to make a beautiful Gluten Free loaf, but today just wasn't my day, and the loaf totally fell flat. So what does one do with a flat pancake loaf? Flip it whilst cooking and turn it into flat bread with cheese on top!

In good news the Vegetable Soup was very good and the now Gluten Free Flat bread was the perfect consistency to be dipped or set fully into the soup. This food paired well with our Bourgogne Hautes-Cotes De Beaune wine.

Soup Recipe:

• 32 oz Chicken Bone Broth

• 32 oz Chicken Stock (Feel free to use all chicken stock)

• 2 Celery Stalks

• 2 Whole Carrots (Medium to Large)

• 1 Medium White Onion

• 3 Cloves Garlic

• Salt

• Black Pepper

• .75 - 1 lbs Fingerling Potatoes (Cleaned and Quartered)

1. Bring Chicken Broth and Bone broth to a simmer in a large pot, at any point add celery stalks, peeled carrots, peeled white onion whole, and garlic cloves. (Best to keep the pieces fairly large as we are going to retrieve and blend them.)

2. Simmer for 20-30 min until vegetables are tender.

3. Carefully remove vegetable mix from pot and place in blender or Immersion Blender attachment, blend with a bit of broth until smooth.

4. Return mixture to broth pot, stir and add quarter potatoes and cook until tender 20-30 min.

5. Once potatoes are to your liking, salt and pepper to taste and serve.

If making your own bread, make sure you are coordinating prep and cook time with desired time for eating soup. My gluten free bread that I miraculously turned into a flat bread is linked. If you are actually able to make a real loaf of bread... It will be good as well. Topped the bread with Monterey Jack Cheese, Light Salt, and sprinkled Herbs de Provence Blend. (Honestly King Arthur has never given me a bad recipe, feel I missed a step, however this bread was very good with the soup. Below is what was intended vs what I made 😂)

Wine served this evening was a delightful Pinot Noir from Bourgogne Region of France, link about the Region above. Found this lovely bottle at the Red Door Wine Store in Lee's Summit.
