Garlic has a rich history dating back to at least Ancient Egypt. Sometimes it was regarded as a force for good and sometimes for evil. According to an Islamic myth, after Satan left the Garden of Eden, garlic arose in his left footprint (and onion is his right footprint). But in Western culture, garlic was used for protection against demons, werewolves, and vampires. And today the conflict might be between the evil breath it produces and its beloved taste and wondrous health benefits.
If you love garlic, then this is the soup for you. Plus, it's quick, easy, and only uses 5 ingredients, making it in regular rotation at my house. The garlic is sauteed and the simmered so it's actually very mild. Serve with a crispy green salad and some crusty bread for a complete meal.
Ingredients:
- 1 bulb garlic, peeled
- 1 onion, peeled and diced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 can Cannellini beans, drained
- 4 cups "Better than Bouillon" stock
- 1 cup unsweetened soy milk
- salt and pepper to taste
- Saute garlic and onion in olive oil in small soup pot until fragrant and tender.
- Add beans and stock, bring to a boil and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Remove from heat and puree with immersion blender.
- Stir in soy milk and season to taste.
