how to cook Good-Health Roasted Garlic Soup

Serves: 6

Time: About 1 hour (5 minutes prep time, 50-55 minutes cook time, 2 minutes blending time)

With two whole garlic bulbs, this soup is a fantastic remedy for colds, flus, and anything in-between. For extra flavor, you’ll be adding bacon, and for texture, there’s cauliflower. You first roast the garlic wrapped in foil for 35 minutes, and then cook with shallots that you’ve browned in olive oil, along with broth and cauliflower. That simmers for 20 minutes before getting pureed to a silky- smooth texture.

Ingredients:

6 cups veggie broth

5 cups’ worth of cauliflower florets

5 cooked + crumbled bacon strips

2 whole garlic bulbs

3 chopped shallots

1 tablespoon olive oil Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

1.Preheat your oven to 400-degrees.

2.Carefully peel the exterior layers of the bulbs, without popping out the individual cloves.

3.Remove ¼-inch off the tops, and put on a piece of foil.

4.Brush each bulb with ½ teaspoon of oil and wrap in foil.

5.Bake for 35 minutes.

6.While the garlic roasts, heat the rest of the olive oil in a pan and cook shallots for about 6 minutes.

7.When garlic is done, cool before unwrapping the bulbs.

8.Carefully remove garlic from their cloves.

9.Add garlic to your pan of shallots with the rest of the ingredients.

10. Turn the skillet back on and cover.

11. When boiling, quickly turn the heat to low and let the soup simmer for 15- 20 minutes.

12. When the cauliflower is soft, move the pan contents to a blender and puree.

13. Before serving, season with salt and pepper as needed, and top with a little pile of bacon.
