Save Your Life Garlic Soup from 'One Good Dish'
Unless you've eaten garlic soup, it can be challenging to imagine how a huge handful of sliced cloves simmered in water for fifteen minutes could possibly be worth writing about.
Ingredients
- 4 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 6 cups vegetable broth
- 2 large potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 cup diced carrots
- 1 cup diced celery
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Directions
Slice or roughly chop the garlic cloves. Warm the oil in a heavy pot over medium heat. Add the garlic and sage and let sizzle a bit without browning, about 2 minutes. Season with about 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pep-per. Add the water and bring to a boil over high heat, then lower to a brisk simmer. Cook for 10 to 15 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning.
