Garlic Soup with Cream
The recipe is relatively easy to make and everyone will swear that you have hired a gourmet chef. Its the soup intended to impress at all levels. It doesn’t require a ton of ingredients Garlic, Honey, potatoes, chicken broth, cream, butter, bay leaves and Salt and pepper. Take your time and smell the deliciousness wafting through the house.
The secret ingredient is the honeyed garlic cloves, the 12 roasted cloves rolled in honey are the perfect topper for the soup, big tip take a picture fast because they sink quickly to the bottom, I was too slow and too hungry to try again. I am feeling really generous so I have included the amazing recipe below. Try it out and let me know what you think.
Rubbermaid Containers
They really are totally leak proof, I took the soup for lunch and no spillage, no leakage and the microwave at work personally thank me when I was finished. I usually am the splatter gal but not this time. With the Rubbermaid Brilliance I now can agree with total confidence to take gourmet soup to our next dinner party. ( and are you kidding me in these containers who wouldn’t want to take them and show them off)
