Throw in a couple dashes of salt and pepper before bringing the pot toa boil. Once it boils, quickly set it to simmer and leave it for : 30 minutes. In the meantime, preheat : your oven to 350 F. Tear your : bread into uneven chunks, : approximately 2 4 cm in size. : Bake bread chunks in the oven : ‘til golden brown/toasted. : This shouldn't take long. Once : finished, wrap the bread in tin : foil and set it aside. : Heat the olive oil ina Dutch : : oven on medium-high heat, using up the food we have, even : coating the base of it before : adding in the carrots, chopped : onions, red pepper flakes, bay : leaf, rosemary, thyme, sage, and : : parsley.
