Ingredients
Instructions
- Heat oven to 400°F.
- Using a sharp knife, cut off the tops of the rolls and pull out the centers, leaving 1/2 inch in bottom and on sides.
- Place the hollowed rolls on a baking dish and set aside.
- In a small saucepan, melt the butter.
- Stir in the minced garlic.
- Using a pastry brush, brush the inside of each roll with the garlic butter.
- Bake the rolls until crisp, about 10 minutes.
- Turn over after 5 minutes and continue baking until fully crisp.
Tips & Substitutions
For an extra punch of flavor, consider adding cooked sausage or ground beef to the soup mixture. You can substitute sour cream for the milk or water for a creamier texture. If you're short on time, pre-made garlic butter can be used instead of melting butter with minced garlic. For more delicious ideas, check out other American recipes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make the soup ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the soup mixture a day in advance. Simply store it in the refrigerator and fill the rolls just before baking to ensure they stay crisp. This is a great way to save time on game day.

If you can't find kaiser rolls, any sturdy bread rolls will work, such as sourdough or ciabatta. Just ensure they are thick enough to hold the soup without falling apart.
