Hi guys, Chef JB here! Today I'm sharing my 50 Clove Garlic Soup. And yes... it uses five whole heads of garlic! 🧄😄 Before you run away, let me reassure you, this isn't a harsh or overpowering soup. By gently cooking the garlic until golden, it becomes sweet and wonderfully fragrant. Cooked with potatoes and just a touch of cream, the result is a silky, comforting soup that's perfect for a cold winter's day. Finished with crunchy golden panko for texture. I really hope you enjoy it. Bon appétit! - JB
----------
50 Clove Garlic Soup
Serves 5
3 tbsp / 50g unsalted butter
1 2/3 cups / 250g (50 – 60 cloves) peeled garlic cloves (5 medium bulbs ~ 60g / 2oz each before peeling – or use pre-peeled)
1 small brown or yellow onion (or 1/2 large), diced small
1.5 kg / 3.3 lbs starchy potato, peeled and cut into 2.5cm / 1" cubes
3 cups vegetable stock / broth, salt-reduced
3 cups water
2 tsp cooking / kosher salt, halve for table salt
1/8 tsp white pepper powder
1/2 cup thickened cream (heavy cream)
SOUP GARNISH:
2/3 cup panko breadcrumbs
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1/8 tsp cooking / kosher salt, halve for table salt
2 tsp finely chopped parsley
1. Melt butter in pot and saute garlic for 5 minutes until light golden. Add onion and cook for 2 minutes until softened – by now, the garlic should be golden.
2. Add potato and stir to coat in the garlic and onion, then add stock, water, salt and pepper. Simmer 15 min (no lid), add cream, simmer 1 min. Blitz smooth, serve with panko garnish.
3. Panko garnish – Mix panko, oil and salt, then toast on medium high for 3 min until golden. Stir in parsley.
