This soup is a derivative of the garlic soup served in Spain, but with no eggs, and a Mexican kick! Definitely a good choice to cure colds and on a winter night.

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons olive oil
30 cloves garlic, minced
4 cups chicken broth
½ baguette, cut into 1/4 inch slices
2 tomatoes, seeded and finely chopped
1 fresh poblano chile pepper, seeded and minced
salt to taste

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic, and cook until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Remove garlic with a slotted spoon and transfer to a large saucepan.

  • Pour chicken stock, tomatoes and chiles into the large saucepan with the browned garlic. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 20 minutes. Season to taste with salt.
  • To serve, place 2 or 3 toasted baguette slices in each bowl, then ladle the soup over them.

This soup was a bit too garlicky for my taste. I think I would have liked it more if I had used less garlic.
