Note

For a richer flavor, you can add a pinch of garlic powder or dried thyme to the soup mixture.

If you prefer a crispier top, broil the casserole for the last 2-3 minutes of baking, watching closely to prevent burning.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave.

Feel free to substitute the French bread with sourdough or Italian bread for a different texture.
