Garlic Soup

What to eat when you're feeling under the weather?  Garlic Soup! according to the wise women of the Upper Himalayas of Nepal.  This is the most basic recipe for making something that you want to eat and that is good for you when you don't have the energy for anything more complicated.

Garlic Soup

Ingredients

1 carton of chicken stock (about 5-6 cups)
6-8 cloves of garlic, sliced
1 Tbsp EVOO
sea salt as desired

Directions

Heat a heavy bottom sauce pot over low heat and warm the olive oil.  Add the garlic and allow the garlic to warm gently until fragrant, about 30 seconds to 1 minute.

Add the chicken stock and allow the stock to come to a boil.  Simmer for about 10 minutes, or until the garlic is soft.

Notes

You can add anything you want to this recipe.  Saute some carrots and celery with the garlic and olive oil in the beginning.  Cut up some leftover chicken and add it to the broth at any point.  Cook some white rice in the broth if you're needing the carbs.  My husband likes to add some Creole seasoning, which makes it really tasty as well.

Enjoy!!
