Ingredients
- 52 cloves of garlic
- 4 cups of vegetable or chicken broth
- 4 tablespoons butter for that rich, velvety finish
- 4 tablespoons of olive oil for a hint of Mediterranean essence
- 1 large onion finely chopped
- 1 cup of heavy cream optional
- A handful of fresh herbs such as thyme rosemary, and parsley
- Crusty bread for serving
- 1 bay leaf to infuse depth
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Start by peeling and chopping the garlic cloves. This may seem like a daunting task, but it's worth the effort for the incredible flavor it brings to the soup.
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until it becomes soft and translucent.
- Add the chopped garlic cloves to the pot and cook for a few minutes until they become fragrant.
- Pour in the vegetable or chicken broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- Once the soup has simmered, use an immersion blender or a countertop blender to puree the soup until smooth and creamy.
- If desired, stir in the heavy cream to add a luscious and velvety texture to the soup.
- Season the soup with salt, pepper, and the fresh herbs. Adjust the seasoning according to your taste preferences.
- Serve the 52 clove garlic soup hot, garnished with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of fresh herbs.
