Cream Of Garlic Soup

Cream of Garlic Soup recipe image
This Cream of Garlic Soup is the ultimate comfort food, offering a rich, velvety texture that warms you from the inside out. By slowly sweating fresh garlic in olive oil, we unlock a deep, sweet aroma that isn't pungent or overpowering. The addition of russet potatoes provides natural thickness and creaminess, while dry white wine adds a subtle brightness to cut through the richness of the heavy cream and milk. It&# 226;ÂÂs a simple yet elegant dish that feels indulgent without requiring complex techniques. Perfect for cozy winter evenings, this soup pairs beautifully with crusty bread for dipping. ItâÂÂs also excellent for meal prep, as the flavors meld and improve after a night in the refrigerator. A true crowd-pleaser that brings a touch of Mediterranean warmth to your table.

Ingredients
  • 3 ounce Garlic cloves, peeled *
  • 3 tablespoon Olive oil
  • 2 1/2 cup Chicken stock **
  • 1 cup Dry white wine
  • 2 1/2 cup Milk ***
  • 1 cup Whipping cream
  • 4 ounce Russet potato ****
Directions
  1. 1
    Peel the garlic cloves and place them in a food processor. Pulse until they form a coarse paste, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  2. 2
    Heat the olive oil in a large heavy-bottomed saucepan over low heat.
  3. 3
    Add the garlic paste to the pan and cook, stirring frequently, until it is fragrant and just beginning to turn golden, about 12 minutes. Do not let it brown.
  4. 4
    Pour in the chicken stock and dry white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Bring the mixture to a boil.
  5. 5
    Reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer uncovered for 30 minutes to allow the garlic flavor to meld with the liquid.
  6. 6
    Peel and coarsely chop the russet potato. Add the potato, milk, and whipping cream to the pot.
  7. 7
    Simmer gently for another 30 minutes, or until the potato is very tender and easily pierced with a fork.
  8. 8
    Carefully blend the soup until completely smooth using an immersion blender, or transfer in batches to a standing blender.
  9. 9
    Return the pureed soup to the saucepan if you used a standing blender. Bring to a gentle simmer.
  10. 10
    Taste and season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper. If the soup is too thick, add a splash more stock or milk.
  11. 11
    Ladle the hot soup into bowls and serve immediately, optionally garnished with a drizzle of olive oil or fresh parsley.
