improvisational garlic-herb soup
Jul. 6th, 2009 12:36 amsince I don't have any chicken, I decided to make a cold-chasing garlic-based soup with whatever I've got in the fridge. I can't wait until it's done!!! garlic and onions are supposed to be anti-microbial. I'll be testing that theory shortly.
1 head of garlic, peeled and crushed
enough olive oil to cook the crushed garlic
2 large yellow onions, diced
3 large stalks of celery, diced
2/3 cup fresh chopped parsley
1/3 cup fresh chopped dill
a few leaves of fresh chopped basil
2 qts vegetable broth/stock
3 large white potatoes, diced
enough water to fill soup pot
salt to taste
1. cook crushed garlic in olive oil for a few minutes on low heat. add onions and celery, saute until tender.
2. add potatoes, herbs, stock, water and salt. cook until potatoes are tender.
I might add the juice of one lemon at the end; I haven't decided yet. boil, soup, boil! need hot salty liquid to chase away the yuck!
