  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   5                    Cans broth (14 oz ea) --
   4      tb            Garlic -- minced
     1/4  c             Olive oil
     1/2  ts            Cavender's Greek seasoning --
                        - up to 3/4 ts
  12      oz            Leftover bread machine crusts
     3/4  ts            Sea salt

Mix in food processor with steel blade. Brown in medium soup [?] for
30 minutes.

Serve as soon as finished or it can hang about on a back burner for
hours. It freeze and reheats well. Try freezing leftover individual
portions for quick bread-and-soup lunches.

This recipe was borne from necessity: I have a fridge full of bits
and pieces of experimental breads, and a dinner-group tomorrow night
on a Portugese theme. I researched, modified and tested this recipe.
It should keep the birds from to sing things back at me.
Test-audience gave the soup mega-kudos. I'm collecting recipes for
leftover bread machine bits. Add them to this note, please?

This hearty, creamy soup is native to south-coastal Portugal where it
is commonly served with cod steaks or a cod casserole often called
"Bacalhau a Gomes de sa". Serve hot topped with freshly baked melba
toasts, also made from your old breads, 1/4" slices in convection or
microwave oven, 60 minutes at 275°F.
