How to Make a Perfectly Balanced Garlic Soup Recipe

Garlic soup might not sound especially appealing to you. In fact, it might sound like a potion to keep away vampires and make everyone want to stay several feet away from you! This misconception about garlic soup is popular but in fact you can make wonderful soup with garlic.

You can do a lot with garlic actually and one of the best ways to prepare it is to cut the top quarter of an inch off the top, wrap it in aluminum foil and cook it on a grill until it is soft. Squeeze the garlic out of each clove and you will have deliciously soft and fragrant garlic.

You can mash it into mayonnaise to make homemade aioli or use it to make any number of tasty sauces or dip recipes. Garlic is a healthy, delicious and versatile ingredient for hundreds of wonderful recipes.

Onions and Garlic in Soup

If you have tried an onion soup recipe, you will probably have noticed that garlic was one of the ingredients in it. This is because onion and garlic go amazingly well together and you can find garlic in a lot of famous recipes for French onion soup too.

Garlic is more than simply a flavoring and using garlic to make soup is a great idea. Not only is this a very unique soup recipe but it tastes phenomenal. If you are looking for easy soup recipes, what about making garlic soup? It is very easy to make and everyone will love it.

Recipe for Garlic Soup

This flavorful garlic and onion soup recipe serves eight people. The garlic and onion flavors are enhanced with bouquet garni, butter, chicken broth and more and the resulting soup is wonderful on a chilly fall or winter evening. If you do not have any bouquet garni, you can make your own by tying a bay leaf, some sprigs of thyme and fresh parsley together.

What you will need:


2 cups chopped garlic cloves
2 lbs chopped onions
1 1/2 quarts chicken broth
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cups stale French bread, in 1/2 inch chunks
2 tablespoons butter
1 cup Half & Half
1 bouquet garni

How to make it:

Saute the garlic with the onions in a four quart pot, in the oil and butter. Keep stirring the mixture as it cooks, until the onions are brown. This should take about half an hour. Add the bouquet garnish and chicken broth and bring the garlic soup to a boil.

Add the bread and let the soup simmer for ten minutes, and then take the bouquet garni out. Puree the soup in batches in the blender or with a hand-held stick blender. Strain it through a strainer, then warm it back up on the stove and add some more chicken broth if it needs to be thinned down. Stir in the Half & Half and add salt and black pepper to taste.

An Easy Dinner Recipe - Broiled Garlic Ginger Pork Tenderloin with Broiled Vegetables

This easy dinner recipe is also an easy clean up. You need only a broiling pan and a cutting board to make the complete meal. The menu features broiled pork tenderloin and broiled vegetables. Add a nice slice of bread to round out the meal. The vegetables are broiled right alongside the meat for a quick, easy dinner recipe that is sure to please.

Garlic Ginger Pork Tenderloin Dinner

3/4 pound pork tenderloin

1 Tablespoon garlic, minced

1 Tablespoon fresh ginger root, minced

seasoned salt

1 large onion, sliced thin

2 small yellow squash or zucchini squash

2 medium size tomatoes

1-2 Tablespoons olive oil

Few drops balsamic vinegar (optional)

kosher salt


Preheat the broiler
Combine the ginger and garlic. Pierce the tenderloin all over the surface forming little pockets. Rub the ginger and garlic mixture into these pockets. Season the outside well with seasoning salt.
Place onto a broiler pan. Slice the onions, squash and tomatoes for broiling. Slice the squash in half lengthwise and the tomatoes crosswise. Slice the onion into slices and place on the broiler pan, cut side up, around the pork tenderloin.
Brush the onions, squash and tomatoes with oil, then sprinkle with kosher salt. Optional: sprinkle the tomatoes with a little balsamic vinegar.
Broil 4 - 6 inches from the heat for 8 minutes.
Turn the pork tenderloin over. Broil for another 6 minutes.
When the pork is done, transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes.
Cut the pork into thin slices and arrange on dinner plates with the onion, squash and tomato. Enjoy!
You can roast any other vegetables you desire with this easy dinner recipe as well. Use sliced peppers, leftover boiled or baked potatoes or sweet potatoes.

This easy dinner recipe for pork tenderloin prepared is very with garlic and ginger, but it is delicious! It is worth the effort to make the pockets for the ginger and garlic. The spiciness penetrates the meat. If you don't want to be bothered making the pockets, then coat the meat with the spices on the outside. I prefer Lawry's Seasoned Salt for coating the outside, give it a good sprinkle. The salty spiciness makes this dish.

You can prepare a pork loin this way as well, but it will need to cook much longer. Usually, when preparing a loin, I prepare it this way, then put it on the grill for about 30 - 45 minutes or until done.

I hope you enjoy this easy dinner recipe and that it will inspire you to try broiling other vegetables and meats for an easy and quick meal.
