GARLIC SOUP



Garlic Soup image

Do not be intimidated by the amount of garlic in this fragrant, creamy soup. The bulk of the garlic is slow cooked first in oil and then with broth to bring out the sweetness and downplay the sharpness of raw garlic. A touch of bread and sour cream adds body and richness and lightly fried sliced garlic, as a garnish, adds a final crisp touch of garlic flavor.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 1h10m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 small heads garlic, smashed and peeled, plus 3 cloves, thinly sliced

1 cup dry white wine
2 sprigs thyme
1 bay leaf
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 piece Parmesan cheese rind, plus 1/2 cup grated Parmesan
2 cups cubed day-old crusty bread
1/3 cup sour cream
Fresh dill, for topping

  • 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.

TEN MOTHERS GARLIC AND SPINACH SOUP



Ten Mothers Garlic and Spinach Soup image

Found this recipe on Care2 website @ http://www.care2.com/greenliving/ten-mothers-garlic-and-spinach-soup.html Adapted from The Roasted Vegetable, by Andrea Chesman (Harvard Common Press, 2002). This delicious broth, redolent with garlic and enriched with the vitamins and minerals of fresh spinach, takes its name from an old folk saying that garlic is as good as ten mothers. This soup is not only tasty and nourishing, it makes a comforting remedy for winter sniffles and sneezes.

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 1h

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 heads garlic
2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
5 cups vegetable broth, good-quality
4 cups fresh spinach leaves, chopped, tough stems discarded

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425.

Place on a square of aluminum foil for easy cleanup, or select the smallest baking dish you have. Drizzle 1 teaspoon oil over each head. Fold the foil over the garlic to completely enclose it, or cover the baking dish with foil.
  • Roast for about 45 minutes, until the garlic is completely soft and lightly browned.
  • When cool enough to handle, squeeze the garlic pulp into a medium-sized saucepan. Add the broth and stir well to combine. Simmer for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to blend.
  • Just before serving, stir in the spinach and simmer until wilted, about 4 minutes. Stir vigorously (the garlic has tendency to settle out.).
  • Serve hot.

RICH GARLIC SOUP WITH SPINACH AND PASTA



Rich Garlic Soup With Spinach and Pasta image

This is a heartier version of garlic soup, a meal in a bowl with a generous egg yolk enrichment and lots of iron-rich spinach.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 heads garlic
2 quarts water
1 tablespoon olive oil
A bouquet garni made with a bay leaf, a couple of sprigs each thyme and parsley, and a fresh sage leaf
Salt to taste
1/2 cup small macaroni shells
6 1/2-inch thick slices country bread, toasted and rubbed with a cut clove of garlic
2 ounces Gruyère cheese, grated (1/2 cup, tightly packed)
4 egg yolks
1 6-ounce bag baby spinach

Steps:

  • Bring a medium saucepan full of water to a boil. Fill a bowl with ice and water. Separate the head of garlic into cloves and drop them into the boiling water. Blanch for 30 seconds, then transfer to the ice water. Allow to cool for a few minutes, then drain and remove the skins from the garlic cloves. They'll be loose and easy to remove. Crush the cloves lightly by leaning on them with the side of a chef's knife.
  • Place the garlic cloves in a large saucepan with the 2 quarts water, olive oil, bouquet garni, and salt to taste, and bring to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer 1 hour. Strain and return the broth to the saucepan. Taste and adjust salt, and bring back to a simmer.
  • Add the macaroni shells to the broth and simmer until cooked al dente.
  • Distribute the garlic croutons among 6 soup bowls and top each one with a heaped tablespoon of cheese. Beat the egg yolks in a bowl. Making sure that it is not boiling, whisk in a ladleful of the hot garlic broth.
  • Add the spinach to the simmering broth and stir for 30 seconds to a minute, until all of the spinach is wilted. Turn off the heat and stir in the tempered egg yolks. Stir for a minute, taste and adjust seasonings. Ladle the soup over the cheese-topped croutons, and serve.

CHILLED GARLIC AND SPINACH SOUP



Chilled Garlic and Spinach Soup image

Green garlic, which greatly resembles an overgrown scallion, has a mild flavor. Heads of fresh garlic are mature but just harvested. Because they haven't been cured for winter storage, they're very juicy. If you can't find either type of garlic, substitute scallions for the green garlic and regular (cured) garlic for the fresh. The soup will still be delicious.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Soups, Stews & Stocks     Soup Recipes

Time 3h

Yield Makes 6 cups

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 to 4 heads fresh garlic (enough for 3 tablespoons)
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
Coarse salt
2 cups low-fat plain yogurt
6 to 10 green garlic stems, trimmed and cut into 1/4-inch slices (1 cup)
1 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1/2 pound baby spinach (6 packed cups)
1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, plus small leaves for garnish
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place fresh garlic heads on parchment-lined foil, drizzle with oil, and season with salt. Wrap in foil, and roast until tender, about 40 minutes. Let cool, then squeeze out garlic, discarding skins. Place 1/4 cup yogurt in a bowl, and stir in 2 teaspoons roasted garlic.
  • Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, and saute green garlic until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add broth, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer 5 minutes. Let cool.
  • Transfer broth mixture to a blender. Add remaining yogurt and half the spinach, and puree. Add remaining spinach, the basil, and 2 tablespoons roasted garlic (reserve remainder for another use), and puree. Add lemon juice, and season with salt. Refrigerate at least 2 hours and up to 1 day. Before serving, top with a little roasted-garlic yogurt and basil.

Tips:

  • For a richer flavor, use chicken broth instead of vegetable broth.
  • Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little heat.
  • If you don't have spinach, you can use kale or Swiss chard instead.
  • Serve with a side of crusty bread or crackers for dipping.
  • Garnish with grated Parmesan cheese and a drizzle of olive oil.
