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.

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 small onion, chopped
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

Steps:

  • 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.

GARLIC AND ONION SOUP



Garlic and Onion Soup image

Categories     Soup/Stew     Garlic     Onion     Quick & Easy     Bon Appétit

Yield Serves 6 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 tablespoons butter
2 cups chopped onions
3/4 cup peeled garlic cloves (about 30)
2 tablespoons all purpose flour
3 14 1/2-ounce cans low-salt chicken broth
1 cup half and half
1/2 cup dry Sherry
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 small bay leaf
3 slices old-fashioned white bread, torn into pieces

Steps:

  • Melt butter in large pot over medium heat. Add onions and garlic. Cover; cook until onions are tender but not brown, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes. Add flour; stir 2 minutes. Add broth, half and half, Sherry, thyme and bay leaf; bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer uncovered until garlic is very tender, about 15 minutes. Discard bay leaf. Working in batches, puree soup with bread in blender until smooth. Return to pot. Season with salt and pepper. Rewarm soup over medium heat; serve.

Tips for Making Garlic Soup for One:

  • Use fresh garlic: Fresh garlic has a more intense flavor than garlic powder or garlic salt. If you don't have fresh garlic, you can use 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder or 1/8 teaspoon of garlic salt.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When you're sautéing the garlic, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the garlic from cooking evenly and will make it more likely to burn.
  • 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 beef broth. If you're using a store-bought broth, look for one that is low in sodium.
  • Season the soup to taste: Once the soup is finished cooking, season it to taste with salt and pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as herbs, spices, or a splash of lemon juice.
  • Serve the soup immediately: Garlic soup is best served immediately. If you need to store the soup, let it cool completely before refrigerating it. The soup will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Garlic soup is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick lunch or dinner. It's also a great way to use up leftover garlic. If you're looking for a healthy and flavorful soup, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
