I want to share a recipe for a delicious soup I just started making. You guys all know that I LOVE garlic and its immune sustaining properties are amazing!! I have a whole post under the "Health Notes" section about the benefits of this little plant. Anyway, give this soup a try!
Garlic Soup
3 whole heads of garlic (roasted)
1 quart of vegetable broth
1/2 cup olive oil
1 vidalia onion
1 stalk of celery
a pinch of saffron
2 cups of cream (I use half and half)
salt/pepper to taste
To roast garlic, heat the oven to 380 degrees. Use a sharp knife to cut the top off the entire head, place on a cookie sheet and drizzle with a little olive oil. Put in oven until tender - 15 minutes or so.
While garlic is roasting, saute onion and celery in the olive oil. When vegetables are tender, add vegetable broth, saffron, and roasted garlic. Bring to a bubble for 10 minutes. Put entire mixture into a blender or vita-mix and blend until smooth. Return to pot and add cream. Cook for 3 more minutes - adding salt and pepper to taste!
Enjoy!!
