Zuppa Daglio - Garlic Soup Recipe
Yield: 8 ServingsRecipe by luhu.jp
Ingredients:
3 Heads: Garlic, Fresh
1/4 cup: Olive Oil,
1 medium: Onion, Cut up up
2: Celery Ribs, Cut Up
1 cup: White Wine, Dry
1/4 cup: All-Purpose Flour,
1 gallon: Chicken Stock,
1 medium: Potato, Peeled And Cut Up
1 cup: Whipping Cream,
10: Basil Leaves, Fresh, Chopped
5 Sprigs: Thyme Leaves, Fresh
2 tsp: Salt,
ts White Pepper,
1/2 tsp: Tabasco,
1 tsp: Extra Virgin Olive Oil,
2: Garlic Cloves, Sliced Very Thin, For Garnish
Directions:
1. Cut two of the garlic heads in half across and remove the papery
outer skin. Put these cut side down on a very hot surface - a
griddle or black iron skillet - until theyre black. Peel all the
garlic completely. 2. Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan and
saute the onions, celery, and the garlic until lightly browned at the
edges. Add the wine and bring to a boil. 3. Sprinkle in the flour and
stir the pot thoroughly, but dont let it brown. Add the chicken
stock, 1/2 gallon water, and the potato. Whisk about the pot well and
bring to a boil. Reduce to a rapid simmer and cook for about an hour
and 15 minutes. 4. Strain out the solids from the soup, and puree
them in a blender or food processor, along with enough broth to ease
things along. Return the puree to the soup and restore the boil. Add
the whipping cream, basil, thyme, salt, pepper and Tabasco. 5. Heat
the extra virgin olive oil in a skillet very hot. In it toast the
slivers of garlic until brown around the outside. 6 Ladle the soup
into bowls and garnish with roasted garlic slivers. Float a toasted,
garlic-buttered slice of French bread on top. Serves eight to twelve.
Suggested wine: Marinasco Chef Andrea Apuzzo writes of this recipe in
his book "La Cucina di Andreas", "Garlic wears many hats. Most
people think of it in its aggressive, green, aromatic, sharp form.
But when garlic is cooked slowly for a long time, it takes on a sweet
nuttiness that is every bit as interesting as its more raw flavors.
The sweet side of garlic is exemplified by this soup." Andreas
