Roasted Garlic Soup
PRO/FATS AND VEGGIES—LEVEL ONE
Serves 4
Slow cooked garlic mellows out the strong taste and gives you a rich and
creamy soup. The preparation is a snap if you use the peeled garlic available in
the produce section of your grocery store.
40 cloves garlic (about 4 heads), peeled
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 large onions, sliced into
1
⁄
4
-inch pieces
3
⁄
4
teaspoon cumin
6 cups vegetable or chicken broth
2 tablespoons butter
1 cup heavy cream
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Smash garlic cloves with the flat side of a heavy knife. Heat olive oil in a small
stock pot. Add onions and cook for 3 minutes, or until slightly brown. Add cumin
and all but 4 cloves of garlic to pot. Cook for an additional 3 minutes. Add broth
and bring to a boil. Lower heat, cover and simmer until garlic is very soft and all
bitterness is gone, about 40 minutes.
While soup is cooking, heat butter in a medium sauté pan over medium. Sauté
reserved garlic until golden. Don’t let garlic get dark brown or it will taste bitter.
Drain on paper towels and set aside.
Turn off the heat. Attach the hand blender to the Somersize Su-Chef. Puree soup
in the pot until smooth. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Stir in heavy
cream. When soup just begins to bubble, remove from heat. Adjust seasoning
with salt and pepper. Pour into soup bowls and sprinkle with sautéed garlic
cloves. Serve immediately.
