Best 9 Garlic Soup Soupe A Lail Recipes

ROASTED GARLIC SOUP

Steps:

• Cut off top 1/4 inch of each garlic head. Place in a small, shallow baking dish. Drizzle olive oil over. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) until golden, about 1 hour. Cool slightly. Press individual garlic cloves between thumb and finger to release. Chop garlic.
• Melt butter or margarine in heavy large saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic, leeks, and onion; saute until onion is translucent, about 8 minutes. Add flour and cook 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in hot broth and sherry. Simmer 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cool slightly.
• Puree soup in batches in a blender or food processor.
• Return soup to saucepan, and add cream. Simmer until thickened, about 10 minutes. Add lemon juice to taste. Season with salt and white pepper. Ladle into bowls. Garnish with chives.

SOUPE A L'AIL (GARLIC SOUP)

Steps:

• Peel the garlic cloves and chop them coarsely.
• Heat the butter and oil in a saucepan or a small kettle. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for about one minute. Do not brown the garlic. Add the water, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, cover and simmer for 15 minutes.
• Strain the garlic and reserve the cooking liquid. Put the garlic and a half cup of the reserved cooking liquid in a blender or food processor and blend to a fine puree. Put the remaining cooking liquid in a saucepan and add the puree. Bring to a boil. Add the vermicelli. Stir and cook for about four minutes. Do not overcook.
• Meanwhile, blend the egg yolks and vinegar in a bowl.
• Turn off the heat under the saucepan. Drop in the egg whites. Do not stir. They will form a cloudlike mixture. Add the egg yolk mixture and stir very slowly. Serve immediately.

SOUPE A L'AIL / CREAMY GARLIC SOUP

Steps:

• Melt butter with olive oil in a 5 quart heavy-bottomed non-reactive pot over medium heat. (I prefer enameled iron for even heat conduction.) Add whole garlic cloves and onions. Saute over medium to medium-low heat for 15-25 minutes. Stir often. Cook until garlic and onions are soft and light golden brown. Cook slowly to develop the sweetness of the garlic. Add the chicken broth and the potato. Bring soup to a boil. Cover, reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the potato is fork tender, about 15-20 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat. Carefully pass the soup through a food mill. A food processor or blender will work, but will not give you the same texture, because the food mill removes the fibrous parts of the garlic, while a process chops them up and they remain in the soup. Return soup to heavy bottom pot. Heat just to boiling over medium heat. Reduce heat to medium low, add half and half and heat, stirring often, until warmed through. Taste for seasoning and add salt and white pepper to taste. Ladle into serving bowls and garnish with a chiffonnade of tangy greens, like arugula or mesculin.

• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the smashed garlic and onion and cook, stirring, until soft and lightly golden, about 8 minutes. Add the wine, thyme, bay leaf, 1/2 teaspoon salt, pepper to taste and the cheese rind. Bring to a simmer and cook until reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Add 5 cups water, reduce the heat to low and bring to a gentle simmer; cook until the garlic is very soft, about 30 minutes. Remove from the heat, add the bread and let soak, 10 minutes.
• Remove the thyme, bay leaf and cheese rind from the saucepan; stir in the grated cheese, sour cream and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Transfer the soup to a blender in batches and puree until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
• Combine the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil, the sliced garlic and a pinch of salt in a skillet over low heat; cook until the garlic is golden and crisp, 12 to 15 minutes.
• Divide the soup among bowls. Top with the fried garlic, some of the garlic oil, and dill.

• Note: Serving Suggestions:.
• There's no getting around it. This garlic soup recipe has a strong flavor and it does tend to take hold in the body for a while. So better to eat this with your beloved -- that way you can smell garlicky together. Also, most people find that although it is delicious, facing this soup in leftovers the next day can be a bit daunting. So best to make what you can finish in one sitting.
• With its substantial topping you can serve this easy soup as a main course, although I'd recommend a first course of a salad or perhaps something even heavier for hearty appetites.
• You don't have to use smoked garlic from Arleux to make this garlic soup recipe, but do make sure that you use excellent quality garlic. Look for heads of garlic that have large cloves (that will save you considerable time in preparing the garlic). The cloves should be firm, not soft or shriveled up.
