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?
