no vampire kisses, eitheri'm sick. and as some of you might know, i really hate being sick. i am potentially the world's saddest, mopiest, whiniest sick person. BUT.
every time i DO get sick, some part deep inside of me does a little dance (a feeble dance, mind you, and then doubles over coughing and moaning), because being sick means making garlic soup.
for one (large) bowl of garlic soup:
a) roast 13 good-sized cloves of garlic in their skins at 350 with some olive oil and salt and pepper (in glass dish, covered with foil)
b) after about 45 mins or when golden brown, remove and let cool
c) 1 tbsp butter, about 1 cup onion, some thyme in pot until onions translucent
d) squeeze roasted garlic out of skin and into pot and add an additional 9 garlic cloves (about 3-4 mins)
e) add about 1 1/2 cup chicken stock and simmer until garlic tender about 20 mins
f) puree the sucker
g) add some parmesan cheese (which i never have)
h) LEMON (essential)
it pretty much cures you. and tastes like the czech republic = awesome.
hooray.
