CREAM OF GARLIC SOUP

Garlic is, in my experience, one of those veggies you either love or hate. If you love garlic, this is the right soup for you. If you don't... You can reduce the number of garlic cloves and try it nevertheless, you may like it. Garlic does have a very characteristic pungent flavour, but it turns really sweet and aromatic during the cooking, so do not be afraid to serve this as a starter or even a light supper.

Ingredients
350 grams potatoes
1 small carrot
1 medium onion
15 large garlic cloves
50 grams butter
1,5 l vegetable bullion
250 ml cold milk
1 levelled tablespoon flour
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

Preparation
Cut the onion into thin slices, dice the potatoes and carrots and crush 10 cloves of the garlic. Melt the butter in a large heavy-bottomed pot, toss in the onions and cook until translucent. Add the crushed garlic and cook for 1 minute, then add the potatoes and carrots and cook, stirring constantly, for about 5 minutes. Toss in the spices and mix well, crush the rest of the garlic, add it to the pot and pour in 1 litre of vegetable bullion. Bring it to a boil over medium heat, cover the pot partially and let it cook for 35 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat and puree the vegetables completely (be very careful because the mixture is very hot), in two batches if necessary. Pour the puree back to the pot, pour in the rest of the bullion and bring to a boil. In another bowl, whisk together the cold milk with the flour and pour it in the soup in a thin stream. Cook for a few more minutes so the soup thickens slightly. Remove from heat, taste for seasoning and serve immediately. Yields 4 servings.

  1. I can't wait to make this soup for John. The only thing he likes better than garlic is cream. I will explain that milk is healthier for him. :)

    1. He won't even notice there's no cream in this soup, I promise :)
      It's very smooth and silky, and it can be made with skim milk :)
      Thank you ♥

    1. Probaj najpre sa manje belog luka, da vidiš koliko ti odgovara ukus čorbice nakon što se skuva i sve izblendira :) ♥

  4. U mom slučaju treba povećati količinu luka, toliko ga volim. Pravila sam nešto slično i baš mi se dopala. Ali mislim da je tvoja mnogo bolja.

    1. To uvek može :) slobodno povećaj količinu ako volite beli luk, zbog kuvanja postane jako sladak, tako da čak ni ovde, sa 15 čenova, ne dominira na negativan način :)
