Two thoughts. 1) This recipe’s name needs to be officially changed from 44 clove garlic soup, to 52 clove garlic soup. Two roasted garlic cloves should be used as a garnish on each bowl. 2) Swine flu, be damned! Talk about a great soup to make right as early cold/flu symptoms arise.

Made it, love it, soooo easy! Gonna share it with some Hungarian cooking community, if you don’t mind :)

This soup is so good! I made it yesterday while also making your mini soft pretzels (yum!). I don’t have a blender so I decided to puree the ingredients in my food processor before adding the chicken broth. I ended up with a few small garlicky bits, but overall, the soup was still very smooth. Just thought I’d share in case anyone else had a similar equipment problem!

I made this last night and can’t wait to serve it tonight. I’m always amazed at how sweet and mellow garlic becomes when cooked for long periods of time. (Perhaps someone should cook ME for long periods of time?) Thanks, Susan, for the comment about the lemon juice. I might have skipped that step, but will be sure not to now.

I made this last night as well; I’ve been pining over it since I’ve seen it – garlic was on sale for 25 cents each and I had to try this finally. And boy, was I ever glad…this one’s a keeper! Thanks!

I made this soup last night only by recommendation of a friend. I normally would never pause on something like this and I am very pleasantly surprised and loving this soup! I omitted the cheese but the lemon is a must. Thank you for the recipe and though this is my first time visiting this website, it will certainly not be my last. I enjoy the simple layout, directions, and beautiful pictures.

One of my favorite quotes: “It is not really an exaggeration to say that peace and happiness begin, geographically, where garlic is used in cooking.” X. Marcel Boulestin (1878-1943)
