garnish essentials: awesome soup/stew topper
It is fun what you can do with herbs and spices. In this case, I fried them in a bit of olive oil, and used them to top a bowl of soup… Awesome stuff. I am planning to experiment with other herb/spice combinations, but this combination really gave my chicken soup an awesome flavor boost. So, you ready… Let’s get into the kitchen.
