GARLIC SOUP
Soups were some thing I hated all my life, especially because of the corn flour in it. But alas! The time has come for me to maintain a strict diet as I am gaining weight beyond my BMI. I was suggested to try soups and broths with other stuff.
so I started with a simple soup recipe and it was garlic soup
so here is how I did it
8 garlic flakes
pepper powder as per taste
salt as per taste
few vegetable pieces
2cloves
1/2 tsp thyme
a few parsley sprigs
oil
4cups water
If you got an oven, you can preheat it to 350 degrees and when it is ready roast the garlic flakes in it and then peel their skins.
Or you can boil the garlic in some water for a minute or two, then rinse and peel the skins.
Or you can halve the whole garlic midway and place them in kadai dribbled with oil. When it has roasted, you will be able to remove the skin like a cap off your head.
So finally what I am trying to say is peel the skin, roast it or boil it to peel off the skin!!!!!!!!!!!
Next put the garlic into a large saucepan together with the cloves, thyme, parsley and oil. Saute for a while. At the same time mash the garlic with the spoon( potato riser).
[If that seems hard you could first run the roasted garlic pieces in a mixer and then proceed with the sauting in the oil part with the other ingredients as mentioned above] And then add water and salt to taste.
Bring to a boil and simmer for 30 minutes. Strain the soup and return it to the pan.
Add the mixed vegetables and simmer for another 20 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.
Remove from heat.
You could eat it with bread or toasted bread.
And if you dont have any diet limit like me you could garnish by sprinkling grated cheese over it.
