2. Slice the Bread: Using a serrated bread knife, cut the frozen baguette into very thin slices, approximately 1/2 cm thick. Thin slices are key to achieving crispy chips. 🔪🍞

3. Mix the Spread: In a bowl, combine the butter or margarine with the soup mix. The soup mix adds a burst of flavor to the spread. If you prefer a richer taste, you can use butter, or opt for margarine for a lighter version. 🧈🌿

4. Spread the Mixture: Using a butter knife or a spatula, spread the butter and soup mix mixture evenly over each slice of bread. Aim for a thin layer but make sure each slice is covered well for maximum flavor. 🥄🍞

5. Bake the Chips: Arrange the coated bread slices in a single layer on a flat baking tray. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Bake for 5 to 10 minutes, keeping a close eye on them to prevent burning. The chips are ready when they turn golden brown and crisp up. ⏲️🔥

6. Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the chips from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack. This cooling step helps them become even crunchier. Serve them plain or with your favorite dip. 🍽️😋
