With the winter being all wonky this year I wanted something to boost my immunity. I also love garlic for more than its anti-viral, antibiotic properties. I roasted half of the garlic but it should turn out well to use all roasted or un-roasted. Use home-made chicken stock for more nourishing benefits. Added here to save my adaptations from /2012/02/01/nourishing-garlic-soup/ Ingredients:
1 medium onion (about 1/2 to 3/4 cup) |
1 head garlic, cloves chopped and crushed |
1 roasted head of garlic (or 1 teaspoon) |
2 stalks celery |
2 tablespoons butter |
3 cups chicken or 3 cups vegetable stock |
2 medium small potatoes |
1/2 teaspoon thyme |
1/2 teaspoon savory |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
creme fraiche, sour cream (use yogurt for added pro-biotic benefits) or yogurt (use yogurt for added pro-biotic benefits) |
Directions:
1. Chop the celery and onions, and saute them in the butter with the un-roasted head of garlic.
2. When vegetables are soft, add the stock and potatoes, and bring to a boil.
3. Add the roasted garlic.
4. Simmer the soup, covered, until the potatoes are soft.
5. Add savory, thyme, and salt.
6. Puree soup with a hand held blender, or throw in your blender or food processor. You can always add water if it is too thick.
7. Serve with a dollop of creme fraiche, sour cream, or yogurt (plain is good too!).
