ROASTED GARLIC SOUP



Roasted Garlic Soup image

Provided by Guy Fieri

Time 10m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

6 large whole heads garlic
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 teaspoons salt, divided
1 1/2 teaspoons freshly cracked black pepper, divided
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
4 cups chicken stock
2 cups water
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
1 cup heavy cream, if desired
2 tablespoons minced fresh Italian flat-leaf parsley
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Asiago Crostini, recipe follows
1/3 cup olive oil
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon hot Hungarian paprika
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, crushed
1 sourdough baguette, sliced into 1-inch thick pieces, cut slightly on diagonal
1/2 cup shredded Asiago cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Cut the tops off the garlic heads just to expose the bulbs and remove any excess papery skins. Place in a large sheet of aluminum foil and drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon each of the salt and pepper. Close the foil around them, leaving a space between the tops and the foil, and place on a baking sheet in the oven. Roast until soft and fragrant, about 1 hour 15 minutes. Remove, cool, and squeeze out the garlic into a bowl.
  • In a large, heavy soup pot (preferably enameled cast iron) over medium-high heat, melt the butter, add the roasted garlic, and cook for 5 minutes. Add in the flour and cook until a dark golden roux is achieved, an additional 5 to 6 minutes, stirring frequently. Add 1 cup chicken stock, incorporate, and repeat until all the chicken stock had been added. Repeat with the water. Add the Italian seasoning, remaining salt and pepper, and stir to combine well. Bring to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes. Add in the cream, if using, cook for 10 minutes more at a very low simmer, stirring occasionally. Adjust the seasoning, if needed, and serve garnished with a sprinkle of the parsley and a fresh drizzle of the extra virgin olive oil. Serve with Asiago Crostini.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • In a small bowl, combine the oil, garlic, and spices and mix well. Place the bread slices on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • With a basting brush, coat each piece with the oil-spice mixture. Sprinkle each slice with about 1 teaspoon of the shredded cheese.
  • Place in the oven and cook until cheese is melted and bread is starting to crisp and darken around the edges, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Remove and let cool before serving.
  • Cook Time 2 hours 10 minutes .

Categories     Food & Cooking     Soups, Stews & Stocks     Soup Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 garlic bulbs, cloves separated (about 40), plus 2 cloves, thinly sliced
1 large russet potato (about 12 ounces), peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 large yellow onion (about 12 ounces), trimmed, peeled, and cut into six-inch wedges
4 fresh sage leaves
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, plus 1 1/2 teaspoons
1 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt

CREAM OF GARLIC SOUP



Cream of Garlic Soup image

The secret to this soup, a luscious puree of caramelized garlic and onions thickened with French bread, is patience. I originally developed it at Savoir Faire. At the time I had a boyfriend who frequently traveled to Mexico. He would rave about sopa de ajo-a broth flavored with garlic and egg-and it sounded so earthy and scrumptious that I decided to try to make it. My approach to recipe development typically involves looking up several versions of a dish, then taking what I like from each of those recipes. That's exactly how this soup was created. I trained with French chefs, so a puree leapt to mind. Then I read that in Latin countries soups are often thickened with bread. One version relied on fish stock, but I thought chicken stock would be more universally appealing. So I stirred all my ideas together, my mentor Daniel gave it his enthusiastic blessing, and my first true culinary creation was born. When we initially started making this soup, my dishwashers had to peel 10 pounds of garlic at a time. Thankfully, these days at Bayona, we buy peeled garlic by the gallon. In order to develop the proper deep, rich flavor, it's essential to take your time cooking the garlic. You need to stir the mixture a lot over low heat and wait until the onions and garlic get very dark and caramelized. I love garnishing this soup with tiny croutons that provide a crunchy contrast to the silky body.

Yield makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
6 cups peeled and sliced onions (about 2 pounds)
2 cups peeled but not chopped garlic cloves
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme, or 1 teaspoon dried
7 cups Chicken Stock, preferably homemade (p. 206)
1 Bouquet Garni (p. 145) made with parsley stems, thyme sprigs, and bay leaf
3 cups stale French bread, torn into 1/2-inch pieces
1 cup half-and-half or heavy cream
Salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Heat the butter and oil in a heavy-bottomed 2-quart saucepan or Dutch oven over medium-low heat. Add the onions and garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until they turn a deep golden brown, 30-40 minutes. Add the thyme, 6 cups Chicken Stock, and Bouquet Garni and bring to a boil. Stir in the bread cubes and let simmer for 10 minutes, until the bread is soft. Remove the soup from heat and cool for 10 minutes.
  • Remove the Bouquet Garni and puree the soup in a blender (in batches, if necessary), until completely smooth. Return the soup to the pot and heat to the desired temperature. Whisk in more Chicken Stock if the mixture is too thick. Add half-and-half or cream until the soup reaches the texture of a classic cream soup. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Roasted Garlic and Shallot Soup image

Provided by Florence Fabricant

Categories     soups and stews, appetizer

Time 2h30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

5 whole heads garlic, cloves from 2 1/2 heads peeled
3/4 pound shallots, half of them peeled and coarsely chopped
4 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 large yellow onions, peeled and coarsely chopped
3/4 pound russet potatoes, peeled and quartered
4 cups well-seasoned chicken stock, approximately
1 cup heavy cream, half-and-half or milk, approximately
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Combine unpeeled garlic heads and unpeeled shallots in large bowl, pour the olive oil over them and toss to coat. Season generously with salt and pepper and place them in a single layer in a baking dish along with any oil remaining in bowl. Cover with foil and bake 35 minutes. If shallots are soft by then, remove them. Bake them a little longer if necessary. Continue baking the garlic another 30 minutes or so until it is soft. Allow garlic and shallots to cool.
  • Meanwhile, melt the butter in a heavy three- to four-quart saucepan. Add onions and cook gently for 15 minutes. Do not allow to brown. Add peeled, unroasted shallots and peeled garlic cloves. Cook over low heat 10 minutes longer. Add potatoes, about 1/2 teaspoon salt or to taste, the chicken stock, cream and thyme. Cover and cook about 40 minutes, until potatoes are very soft.

  • Puree the soup in a blender or food processor. Season to taste with salt and pepper and, if desired, adjust the consistency of the soup with some additional stock, cream or milk or water. Reheat before serving.

CAULIFLOWER AND ROASTED GARLIC SOUP



Cauliflower and Roasted Garlic Soup image

To prime everyone's palate for creative comfort food, serve this hearty roasted garlic-infused soup garnished with cauliflower florets for your first course at Thanksgiving or a fall dinner party.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Soups, Stews & Stocks     Soup Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 heads garlic
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
3 white onions, peeled and thinly sliced
4 heads cauliflower; 3 cored and thinly sliced, 1 broken into small florets
8 sprigs thyme, tied with twine, plus 1 tablespoon chopped
1 cup dry white wine
6 cups chicken stock, plus more to thin, if desired
2 cups heavy cream, plus more to thin, if desired
2 1/2 cups plus 3 tablespoons finely grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons chopped parsley

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Cut off tops of garlic heads. Place each on a piece of parchment-lined aluminum foil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and drizzle with olive oil. Wrap tightly in foil, and bake until garlic is very soft, about 1 hour. Let cool. Squeeze garlic from peel; set aside. Increase oven to 350 degrees.
  • Heat 1/4 cup olive oil in a large pot over medium-low heat. Add onions; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until soft but not browned. Stir in sliced cauliflower, thyme bundle, and wine. Simmer until wine is reduced by half. Add stock; bring to a simmer. Cover and cook for 20 minutes. Remove cover, and simmer until cauliflower is soft, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Remove thyme and stir in cream and 2 1/2 cups Parmesan. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in garlic. Puree in batches until smooth. Thin with more stock or cream, if desired. Return to pot; keep warm on low heat.
  • Heat remaining 1/4 cup olive oil over high heat in a saute pan until almost smoking. Add cauliflower florets, stirring until browned. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer pan to oven and cook until tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in thyme, parsley, and remaining 3 tablespoons Parmesan. To serve: Ladle soup into bowls, and garnish with cauliflower florets.

Tips:

  • Choose the right garlic: Large, plump garlic cloves with papery skin are best for roasting. Avoid cloves that are bruised or have green sprouts.
  • Roast the garlic properly: Roasting garlic mellows its flavor and brings out its sweetness. To roast garlic, cut off the top of the head, drizzle with olive oil, and wrap it in foil. Roast at 400°F for 45-60 minutes, or until the cloves are soft and golden brown.
  • Use a good quality vegetable broth: The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a broth that is low in sodium and has a rich flavor.
  • Don't overcook the soup: The soup should be simmered for just long enough to heat through and combine the flavors. Overcooking can make the soup bland and watery.
  • Season the soup to taste: Once the soup is cooked, taste it and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or garlic powder.
  • Garnish the soup before serving: A simple garnish can make the soup look more appealing. Try adding a dollop of sour cream, a sprinkle of chopped parsley, or a drizzle of olive oil.

Conclusion:

Cream of roasted garlic soup is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. The soup is creamy and flavorful, with a rich garlic flavor. It can be served as a starter or main course, and it is also a great way to use up leftover roasted garlic.
