This soup is perfect for a cozy night in or as a starter to a larger meal. The French bread and melted mozzarella cheese on top give it a beautiful golden brown crust that adds to its charm. The soup can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for a few days or frozen for later use. Serve it with a side of crusty bread or a light salad for a satisfying and comforting meal.
