Garlic is one of those things that are always in my kitchen also when traveling and I am not in my own kitchen. We all love the flavor it gives and it pretty much isa part of almost any dish; sometimes its part of our salad dressing. Oh yes, garlic is so good. So super excited when I got the invite to participate in the #NationalGarlicDay round-up headed by my friend Heather. There are a total of 15 delicious garlic recipes plus a garlicky giveaway. As for for me this is the perfect reason to come up with a new garlic recipe. Please let me introduce you to…tadahhhh
Garlic Soup with cheese {optional} and Garlic Olive Crunch Bread…what do you think? If you prefer it vegan or entirely dairy free just lead out the cheese.
Garlic Soup with cheese
- 15 - 20 fresh garlic cloves, minced {not pressed}
- 1 Tb Earth Balance or other preferred "butter"
- pinch of salt
- 1 Tbs flour
- 1/2 C dry white wine
- 1 Tb dry Sherry
- 1-1/4 C plain soy creamer
- 3 C broth
- 1/2 bullion cube
- 1 Tb lemon juice
- Salt & Pepper to taste
- green onion or parsley for garnish
- 1 C grated Gruyere for serving
- Melt "butter" in a pot and when hot add garlic cloves together with a pinch of salt. Gently sauté for a couple of minutes until garlic turns fragrant
- Add flour to the garlic and carefully stir it in. Be careful that it does not burn and after a minute or so
- Whisk in the white wine; carefully whisk the mixture to avoid any lumps, bring to a quick boil and lower the heat. When wine has reduced add the Sherry and after another minute
- Stir in the creamer, broth, and bullion cube. Keep soup slightly covered at a low simmer for about 15 minutes
- Add lemon juice, pepper and adjust salt.
- Ladle into individual bowls and garnish with either green onions, or parsley.
- Serve with cheese on the side. Each person can add - or leave out - some cheese into their bowl, and top the soup with Garlic Olive Crunch Bread
