Bread Crusts Toasted for Soup

Toast bread crusts in front of a small fire, and on a wire toaster. When brown on both sides, cut the bread into very small dice before serving. Untoasted bread swells, and is likely to spoil the appearance of the soup. Crusts for toasted cheese are pulled, in rough pieces, from a fresh loaf, and then browned in the oven or in front of a fire.
