    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.
