I think that I'm pretty good about giving credit where credit is due. And this super-simple idea came from my wife. We were heating up an instant cheese soup packet for dinner recently because it was unbearably cold outside. There's something about a warm bowl of soup that almost makes you forget the howling, sub-zero temperatures outside your door. (Almost)
I'm a big fan of having something to dip into soup. It's the savory equivalent of dunking cookies into milk. Plus, it gives you something to mop up what's left in your bowl when a spoon just won't get the job done. It's slightly more classy than lapping up the last morsels with your tongue like a dog would do.
Enter: Pillsbury Crescent Rolls
I have used these before to make a crust for a baked taco pizza. And they're so versatile that they can easily go sweet or savory depending on how you treat them. In this instance, I used Italian herbs & cheese.
A quick dusting with Parmesano-Romano cheese, black pepper, dried onions, and parsley and you're good to go. I spread it out on the dough before rolling them up. And since I'm kind of messy in the kitchen, I had a lot of that tasty seasoning all over my counter. I just rolled the outside of the rolled-up crescents in the mix to make sure all sides were coated.
As you can see I only did it with the four on the right. The others were being saved for breakfast with some sweet jam.
These were so quick & easy, I'll have to experiment with other seasoning blends in the future. It was salty and flavorful to add another level with that creamy soup.
