Unbelievably good garlic soup

2 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
2 mediums Onions -- chopped
1 Head Garlic, Cloves Separated & Peeled
3 tablespoons Olive Oil
1 cup Chicken Stock
1 cup Cream Or Half-And-Half
Day-Old French Bread -- cut into bits
2 teaspoons Paprika
¼ teaspoon Ground Cumin
Salt And Pepper -- to taste
Chopped Fresh Parsley -- as garnish

Directions

1. In a large skillet, over a medium heat, saute the onions and garlic in the olive oil until the onions are translucent, about 5 mins.

2. Transfer the sauteed mixture to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Add the chicken stock and continue to blend; then add the cream and blend well. If you have an adjustable-speed processor, you might find the mixture staying smoother on a slower blending speed, you don't want to froth the cream.

3. Add small bits of the French bread slowly, so the soup begins to thicken up as the bread is incorporated into the liquid. The amount of bread you add is going to determine the thickness of the soup. If you want a thick, almost stewlike consistency, add more bread. If you want a thinner soup, add less.

4. Once you have the texture you want, transfer the mixture to a saucepan over medium heat. Add the paprika and cumin, and salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for 5 to 8 mins. Sprinkle with parsley and serve hot. Makes 2 servings.
