My mother serves this soup with these bread sticks. They are simply
rhodes rolls, rolled out into bread sticks. You also dip them in butter and
Parmesan cheese. Let them rise and then bake at 350 for 9-11 minutes.
This soup is a family favorite and makes a lot. Invite a neighbor family over to share it with and you'll still be eating for lunch the next day! Enjoy! love, K
