delicious and rich, and the lemon juice really makes a difference! balsamic vinegar instead of lemon tasted great as well :)

Hi deb- made this soup this weekend. I loved the taste but it didnt come out as thick as i’d hope…any suggestions? Also, I was wondering if I could substitute sour cream for the heavy cream? Thanks!

Love, love love Garlic soup. Made this several years ago for my sister and family. To say they were wild for it is an understatement. My brother-in-law ate 4 bowls of it! They could not stop talking about it for hours. That was until the ‘interesting effects on the body’ kicked in. Needless to say- he was miserable having had nearly all 40 cloves of it himself. To this day we speak fondly of that delicous garlic soup as a memory. I have been asked to never make it again. (for them anyway)
Garlic lovers – try Caprial Pense’s Fresh Tomato Tart with Roasted Garlic Crust! The crust another winner!

mmmmmmm this is my faaavorite… i’m a garlic addict. i made this for myself and my mother once… i used a few extra cloves of garlic, of course… and once it was ready, mmm boy! we ate 25 cloves of garlic each, at once. we couldn’t stop. if there had been more, we would have eaten as much more as there was. since then, every time i mention it, she says “not if we’re going to have to go out in public the next day!” because as it turns out, eating 25 cloves of garlic for dinner has some.. interesting (ready: gassy) effects on the body. …but damn is it worth it.

today, i woke up feeling a lot more like death than a few beers last night can explain, knew i was sick, and started formulating a plan: tea, tea, garlic, more tea, kombucha, GARLIC SOUP. (and cake, i must have cake.) sometimes i think getting sick is just an excuse to eat garlic soup. i’ve got the house to myself tonight and i intend to have a moderate bowl of the soup along with some bread and salad, and serve up the rest of the soup tomorrow among three people.

but the more i think about it, the more i doubt that there will be any trace of garlic soup by tomorrow.

Wow. This was exactly as described, subtle but not boring. I was surprised that the soup wasn’t MORE garlicky! Overall an excellent meal! Can I suggest a pairing with a grilled gouda sandwich on sourdough?

I just made this soup and it was delicious! I also added in potatoes and white beans. So tasty! A perfect soup for this horrible weather we have been having.

Just made this for dinner, and we had it with crusty sourdough bread, salad greens, and a good bottle of wine. AMAZING!

Lord lord lord, i just made this for dinner for me and a friend and it was honestly the most delicious thing i have made in a long time. So easy and so very tasty, it came out even better than i had hoped, even though i substituted mixed dried herbs for thyme and cheddar for Parmesan. Thank you so much for this recipe!
