Garlicky Green Soup

Garlicky Green Soup - Seriously Soupy
Another ode to St. Patrick's Day, this Garlicky Green Soup is essentially just that - tons of garlic and various green vegetables that I blended together.  I cooked a mixture of celery, peas, broccoli, spinach, and green beans with some onions, potatoes, rosemary, thyme and a dollop of Greek yogurt for a healthy rich vegetable mixture. Since I am a die hard garlic fan I was also really excited that I was able to test out a new line of gourmet garlic products called Garlic Gold in this recipe. Essentially chunky garlic nuggets, this organic garlic company features a line of condiments ranging from Italian Herb Nuggets to Parmesan Nuggets, and of course, a great selection of crunchy garlic nuggets. For this super garlicky soup, I used a combination of their Garlic Gold with Extra-Virgin Olive Oil and their Garlic Gold Nuggets - resulting in a rich and powerful flavor that worked really well with the earthy combination from the vegetables. This soup can also be easily modified based on the vegetables you have at home and can include a combination of other colors as well, even though, it's pretty hip to be green...

  2. Hi Restaurants Brugge,

    I really recommend this product. Peeling garlic can get tedious with soup making and I love using fresh pre-chopped garlic. This one is also incredibly rich. Let me know if you try it!
