Just like french onion soup doesnt make you smell like onion, garlic soup is a french farm country delicacy that gives incredible flavor without leaving any garlic smell. And this recipe roasts the bulbs in such a way that the cloves come out without peeling with your fingers.

We grow a mild garlic called elephant garlic, twice as big as regular garlic and twice as mild. Garlic is believed to be good for you, a potent natural antibiotic, but we make this garlic soup for its delicate creamy flavor. Sprinkle with bacon bits, serve with sourdough bread and a glass of dry white wine.

Here is the recipe.

I teach people at the farmers market to grow small scale fruits and vegetables. My grandparents and parents taught me growing, cooking and preserving home grown fruits and vegetables, eggs, meats and fish. I got certified by the University of California Master Gardener Program in 2005. I try to bring out the original flavor of ingredients, then add layers of spices, herbs and flavorings that enhance, not distort the taste. These are the global, organic and vegan family recipes we use.
