Garlic Lime Soup image

I think this is from a Gilroy Garlic Festival...it's a light, simple, wonderful starter that I serve in mugs before dinner. It's also our cure-all for winter colds. Since it is so simple, the quality of the chicken stock is crucial. I usually add way more garlic and cilantro than the recipe calls for, but heck, when EVERYONE is eating garlic, who cares?

Time 20m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 quart good chicken stock
1/2 cup sliced garlic clove (not TOO thin)
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup lime juice
1/2 cup finely chopped cilantro (or chopped green onions if you are a cilantro-phobe)

Steps:

  • Saute garlic in oil SLOWLY til very soft and golden.
  • Add broth, bring to a simmer, add lime juice and cilantro.
  • Garnish with a few whole cilantro leaves.
  • Obviously this can be played with--I've tossed in chopped avocado, crushed tortilla chips, chopped tomato, etc. But the basic simplicity is its beauty.

I love making this soup in the slow cooker. It's so easy to just throw all the ingredients in and let it cook all day.

The soup is a bit too sour for my taste. I think I'll add a little bit of honey to balance out the flavors.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my soup turned out really watery. I think I might have added too much broth.

The soup was a bit bland for my taste. I think it needed more salt and pepper.

This soup is a great make-ahead meal. I made it on Sunday, and I've been eating it all week. It's just as good reheated as it is fresh.

I love the versatility of this soup. You can add or remove ingredients to suit your own taste. I added some chopped cilantro and avocado, and it was delicious.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I always have a few pieces of chicken left over after dinner, and this soup is the perfect way to use them up.

I wasn't a huge fan of the coconut milk in this soup. I think it would be better with a different type of milk, like almond milk or cashew milk.

The soup was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I'm sure that's easily remedied by reducing the amount of chili powder.

I'm not usually a soup person, but this recipe changed my mind. It's so light and refreshing, yet still satisfying.

This garlic lime soup is a flavor explosion! The combination of tangy lime, savory garlic, and creamy coconut milk is absolutely divine.
