Garlic soup
If you love garlic, you are in for a real treat! This soup’s packed with garlicky flavors without being too strong.
This recipe calls for two heads of garlic (not cloves!!), which may seem like a lot, but it’s not! (I promise!)
Raw garlic can be sharp and strong. In this soup, the garlic loses its boldness to bring humble ingredients, like potato and beans, to a new level of deliciousness.
What you will need to make this warming garlic soup
- Garlic: two heads of garlic or about 20 garlic cloves.
- Olive oil: to sautée the garlic
- Potato: to help thicken the soup and give it more body.
- Miso paste: to boost flavors. (You can omit although it adds an umami taste)
- Vegetable broth: or water!
- White beans: to add creaminess and some protein!!
- Salt & pepper: to season
How to make garlic soup
Start by peeling and cutting your potato into cubes.
Peel your garlic ( yes, it is not the funniest part, you can buy pre-peeled garlic and skip this step!), chop roughly.
Heat a saucepan on medium-high heat. Once hot, add olive oil and garlic. Season and sautée until fragrant to start building the flavors.
Then add the white miso paste, cubed potato, and sautée until it becomes slightly browned and sticky on the bottom.
There goes vegetable broth (or water) and drained white beans. Bring to a boil, cover, and let it cook for about 30 minutes.
Blend the soup using an immersion blender until smooth and creamy. You can also use a blender, transfer the soup to your blender, cover and place a towel over the lid to avoid accidents. Blend and transfer your soup back into the pot.
Taste test and adjust seasonings. If you like your soup thicker, let it reduce down for an extra 10 minutes.
