ANYWAY, i digress. Soup. I love soup. So last night in my final waking moments before falling asleep, i googled "what to eat when you are sick". one thing i kept seeing was this onion and garlic soup. now, i know what you are thinking...because i was thinking it last night. GROSS. who would eat that, and secondly, who would want to be in the same vicinity as someone who has eaten that?? talk about room clearing. but the more i read, the more i realized, it is really something that could boost my system, so let's have a go. so it's today, and it's in the pan.
3 large roughly chopped cooking onions
3 small (tiny) chopped onions from last years garden
3 HUGE cloves of garlic, locally grown and SUPER strong. (yipes)
one of my frozen bags of home made chicken stock...so roughly about 4 cups.
it's in the pan. my house smells like onion and garlic...but it smells very homy and good actually!
I'll let you know how it works. once i eat it, i'll probably get the house to myself due to the stench, so i'll have lots of time to update the blog.
UPDATE:
So, the soup was remarkably tasty...i wasn't brave enough to eat all the hunks of garlic (i did a rough chop), so i mostly ate the broth. i am feeling better today, so whether it was the soup, or the natural course of the cold, im not sure, but i would make this again, knowing that it is super healthy regardless! and pretty easy to boot! That...and i love anything soup. i am pretty much a soup fiend! love it to pieces. now if only i could get the 2 older kids to eat it?! my toddler eats it up like crazy. even this garlic and onion one!!
