Yep, you read that correctly. Eight. Cloves. It's fantastic, and I honestly don't find the garlic flavor overpowering or dominating by any means. (Same goes for the two cups of onion: it doesn't make the soup overly onion-y.)
Add to its resume the fact that garlic is incredibly good for you, and I'm sold.
Are you a fan? Do you fall into the love-it or hate-it side of the argument?

It seems like its an ingredient in 80 percent of everything I make and yet I would say very few of them have a "garlic" flavor. One of the biggest hurdles is learning how to crack/chop/mince the little cloves. I bet you learned that in your chopping class though.
ReplyDeleteI am bookmarking this soup...
Honestly, I've started using my garlic press for any instance where I need a clove of garlic! We did cover mincing of garlic in that knife skills class, which was very handy, but the garlic press is much faster. Since I love garlic, I like that it lets more of the flavor and juices out into the food, too. I only use a knife on special occasions. ;)
ReplyDeleteI've made this soup twice this winter, and I'm ready to make it again. It's a definite favorite. Hope you like it!
