Hints & Notes:

  • I roasted the garlic bulbs the night before and made fresh soup for lunch the next day
  • For a stronger garlic flavour, add 2 extra cloves of fresh minced garlic *
  • Makes 6 generous adult servings
  • Once the garlic is roasted it does not take long to make this soup, perhaps 30 minutes.
