CHILLED GARLIC AND SPINACH SOUP
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.

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.

GARLIC SPINACH SOUP
The garlic is the star of this creamy soup. Which adapts well to vegetarian diets by using vegetable stock in place of chicken stock. Saw a spinach soup recipe in magazine some time back and then lost it. Made this the other night which am sure is close to what I read.

TEN MOTHERS GARLIC AND SPINACH SOUP
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.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425.
- Remove the outer papery covering of the garlic. Slice off the top of each head so most of the cloves are exposed. 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.

SPINACH AND GREEN GARLIC SOUP
Steps:
- Warm the olive oil and butter in a large saucepan or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the green garlic and a pinch of salt, and cook, stirring frequently, until it is soft and translucent. Also, as the garlic cooks, you should notice that its scent changes from raw and sharp to sweeter and more mellow; that's what you're after. When the garlic is ready, add the stock, raise the heat a bit, and bring it to a boil. Then adjust the heat to maintain a gentle simmer, and continue to cook for about 15 minutes. Add the spinach, and immediately turn off the stove. Let it sit for 5 minutes - not too long, or the spinach will lose its color - and then, working in batches, purée the mixture in a blender. (Remember never to fill the blender more than a quarter or a third full, because the hot liquid will expand when you turn on the motor.) The soup should be a rich shade of green and very smooth. Return the soup to the pot, and place it over low heat to rewarm gently. Add 1 Tbsp. crème fraîche and another pinch or two of salt. Taste, and adjust seasoning as necessary. Serve warm or hot, with a drizzle of olive oil or a dollop of crème fraîche, if you like.
Tips:
- Use fresh spinach: Fresh spinach has the best flavor and texture, but you can also use frozen spinach in a pinch. Just be sure to thaw it and squeeze out any excess water before using.
- Don't overcook the spinach: Spinach cooks very quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Otherwise, it will become mushy and lose its vibrant green color.
- Use a good quality broth: The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality broth. You can use chicken broth, vegetable broth, or even a combination of the two.
- Add some cream or milk: Adding some cream or milk to the soup will make it richer and creamier. You can also use a dairy-free alternative, such as almond milk or coconut milk.
- Season to taste: Be sure to season the soup to taste with salt, pepper, and other spices. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of sour cream for extra flavor.
Conclusion:
Garlic spinach soup is a delicious, healthy, and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a quick and easy meal. It's also a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables. So next time you're looking for a simple and satisfying soup, give this garlic spinach soup a try. You won't be disappointed!
