Can substitute Vegetable stock for Beef and tastes just as well. Also for a richer flavour used Butter instead of Marg.

Hi Lezzz - yes definately the butter would be better, but then perehaps not as healthy. I like the idea of the cheesy garlic bread - definately going to try that - what about gently toasting it? - Regards Kenny

Hi Kenny,
Not as healthy , but is the margarine healthy ? i think butter is more natural then margarine which contains additives.
Of course , toasting the cheesy garlic bread is the way to heaven if i can tell ;-)
Have a nice lunch! ;-)

Best FOS yet discovered! I toasted the garlic bread, sprinkled with cheese, dropped into soup and stuck all back under the grill. Wonderful! Garlic has same antiviral properties as onions. So got to be good.
