- 1 garlic clove
- 1/2 tsp fresh rosemary
- 1/2 tsp fresh thyme
- 1/2 tbsp olive oil
- In a bowl mix the bread sticks with olive oil, garlic, rosemary and thyme, tossing until coated.
- In a non-stick frying pan heat some olive oil and fry the bread sticks, stirring often, until golden. Set aside on a lined baking tray and sprinkle with the Violife Prosociano while the bread is still hot.

Use a hand blender to blend the soup until creamy. Add half of the Violife Creamy into the soup and mix until melted and incorporated.
- Serve the soup with the bread sticks, a quenelle or a dollop of Violife Creamy and baby spinach leaves.
