Ingredients

2 pretty good sized garlic heads

2 russet potatoes, peeled and diced

1 cup chicken or vegetable stock

2 cups cream (regular table cream will do)

1/2 stick of butter

1/2 tsp kosher salt

2 Tbsp Olive oil

3 rashers of bacon, chopped small and fried into bacon bits. Alternatively, store bought bacon bits will be fine. Bacon bits are optional anyway.

Directions

Boil diced potatoes in salted water till tender; about 15 minutes. Preheat oven to 350 deg

Meanwhile, fry the bacon pieces till crisp and set aside on kitchen paper.

Slice the tops off the two garlic heads, retain the bits from the tops you sliced off

Place garlic heads in a muffin pan (works great) and drizzle with olive oil

Place muffin tin with garlic heads in oven for 15 minutes

Drain water off potatoes, and place them in a blender

Add 1 cup chicken or vegetable stock to blender

When garlic heads are roasted, squeeze each roasted clove out of its skin into blender. Careful!! they'll be hot to the touch!

Add 1/2 stick of butter to blender and pulse all till smooth

Heat the cream in a frypan till just to the boiling point

add the garlic/potato/butter/stock to the cream and bring to the boil. Reduce heat and simmer about 5 minutes.

Serve in warm bowls with bacon bits sprinkled on top

Well, you've done it! Looks like a great creamy soup, the picture is beautiful! I love the method of roasting garlic in the muffin tins! What a clever idea! Bacon should bring a nice texture and add an extra layer of flavor to this wonderful soup!

How much garlic can one eat until they get sick. I would say this recipe looks healthy, but beware of too too much garlic. Have any weird symptoms proceeded after eating so much garlic soup?
