40 Clove of Garlic Soup

Serves: 4

Total Time: 1 hour 25 minutes (15 min prep, 1 hr 10 min cook)

Ingredients:

40 Cloves Of Garlic, Peeled

1/4 Cup Olive Oil, Divided

1 Medium Onion, Chopped

1 Medium Potato, Peeled & Chopped

4 Cups Organic Chicken Broth

1 tsp Organic Chicken Bouillon

1/2 Teaspoon Dried Thyme

Garlic Powder, Onion Powder, Salt & Pepper To Taste

1 Tablespoon Lemon Juice

Instructions:

Place two tablespoons of the oil in a large saucepan.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Place 30 garlic cloves in a small oven-proof casserole along with the remaining olive oil.

Cover with foil and roast the garlic for 35 to 40 minutes or until soft and brown.

While the garlic is roasting, coarsely chop the remaining garlic cloves and add to the saucepan along with the onions and potatoes.

Cook the garlic and onion mixture over medium heat until the vegetables soften and begin to brown, about 5 minutes.

Add the chicken broth, thyme, salt and pepper and bring to a boil.

Reduce the heat to a simmer, and cook until the potatoes are very tender, about 15 to 20 minutes.

Once the garlic has roasted to a light golden brown, use a spoon to remove it from the oil and place in the saucepan.

Reserve the garlic oil for another use.

Puree the soup with an immersion blender in soup pot or let cool and blend in batches until thick and smooth, then return to the pan.

Reheat the soup, then add the lemon juice.

Serve, topped with your garnish of choice.
