Garlic Soup
Like french onion soup but better...
Servings 4 people
Ingredients
- Lots of garlic I used about 2 bulbs
- 1 onion chopped
- 1 potato chopped
- Olive oil + knob of butter
- Salt pepper, marjoram, thyme (optional bay leaf)
- 1 cup white wine
- 1 box of stock can add more water + bullion if you like
- 2-3 cups bread cubed
- Grated cheese I like using white cheddar or gouda
- Herbs to garnish: parsley or chives
Instructions
- In a large pot, add olive oil and butter and let melt over medium heat. Add chopped onion and caramelize slightly for about 5 minutes. Or longer if you have time!
- Add the chopped potato and sliced garlic. Season with salt, pepper, and marjoram. Option to add caraway.
- Stir and let sautée for about 5 minutes. Deglaze with white wine and add your stock + water.
- Bring to a bubble, add in a bay leaf, then reduce to low and let simmer (partially covered) for about 20 minutes.
- Cube up your bread, hit with olive oil and salt and toast in the oven at 400 degrees for about 10 min (or until golden).
- Ladle soup into oven-safe bowls, top with croutons, grated cheese and under the broiler for a few minutes until cheese is melted and it’s a bit golden on top. Garnish with herbs.
