Roasted garlic soup recipe

13 years ago

Since a very sweet CFer (Sherry) gave me a garlic roaster and mentioned someone's wonderful garlic soup recipe, I've been salivating over the thought of making it. Can someone tell me where I can find that recipe or post it again????

Thanks - Karen

Herre ya go.....from Lakeguy.

ROASTED GARLIC SOUP WITH PARMESAN CHEESE
26 garlic cloves (unpeeled)
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) butter
2 1/4 cups sliced onions
1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
18 garlic cloves, peeled
3 1/2 cups chicken stock or canned low-salt chicken broth
1/2 cup whipping cream
1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese (about 2 ounces)
4 lemon wedges
Preheat oven to 350Â°F. Place 26 garlic cloves in small glass baking dish. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper; toss to coat. Cover baking dish tightly with foil and bake until garlic is golden brown and tender, about 45 minutes. Cool. Squeeze garlic between fingertips to release cloves. Transfer cloves to small bowl.
Melt butter in heavy large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onions and thyme and cook until onions are translucent, about 6 minutes. Add roasted garlic and 18 raw garlic cloves and cook 3 minutes. Add chicken stock; cover and simmer until garlic is very tender, about 20 minutes. Working in batches, purÃ©e soup in blender until smooth. Return soup to saucepan; add cream and bring to simmer. Season with salt and pepper. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Rewarm over medium heat, stirring occasionally.)
Divide grated cheese among 4 bowls and ladle soup over. Squeeze juice of 1 lemon wedge into each bowl and serve.
I got this recipe off epicurious awhile back, have made it three times now. Several in my group love it and use the same recipe. I roasted heads of garlic, so the clove count that I used is not exact....probably more..lol I love garlic.

new to canning tomatoes
Q
Comments (27)
This is my third year canning but up until this season I've mostly canned green beans, corn and peppers. I canned some tomatoes in a pressure canner, I followed instructions precisely, I'm not brave enough to deviate from instructions at all. When processing time was up and I removed the jars, the tomatoes were very, VERY dark and seeds were black. I cannot figure out what happened. I tried another batch in hot water bath, 4 of the 6 jars had done the same thing The other 3 were somewhat dark but not like the others. Last year I canned a couple dozen jars of tomatoes & salsa and they didn't turn dark like this. When they cooled enough to safely handle I opened a jar they smelled "normal" but I tossed them out, I'm afraid of taking any chances when it comes to canning. Have any of you heard of this problem? I've searched everywhere and cannot find where anyone else has had this happen. Help! I'm desperate for an answer! This post was edited by HuntnLady on Fri, Aug 29, 14 at 2:57

County Fair Ribbon Winners - Linda Lou's recipe!
Q
Comments (6)
I'm not sure about the amount of canners and any increase in participants, but I do know the Cooperative Extension had to have two more canning classes this year, in the evenings, as all her classes got full and there was much more demand. The co-op lady is the one that pushes me to enter the fair. Originally, I wasn't going to do it this year. But I did, and I won again. I've got my eye on Linda Lou's SWEET APPLE RELISH for an entry for next year! I think the judges are intrigued by something new and different. Everyone on this forum deserves to play a part in those ribbons. I'm just bragging on you guys all the time. How you push to do it correctly and properly, keeping safety in mind, along with the hard work and joy from it. Cooking is an art, canning is a science. You've taught me that and I love the fact that you don't deviate from that. Canning is addictive and we are all duly warned when we wander into this site. Ribbons are just the 'icing on the cake' and reflect on your safe, great recipes! You deserve to be recognized. June Lynn

Newer version of Annie's Salsa - BWB only Annie's Salsa 8 cups tomatoes, peeled, chopped and drained 2 1/2 cups chopped onion 1 1/2 cups chopped green pepper 3 to 5 chopped jalapenos (for milder leave out seeds and ribs) 6 cloves minced garlic 2 tsp cumin (optional) 2 tsp pepper 1/8 cup canning salt 1/4 c fresh cilantro (optional) 1/3 c sugar (optional) 1 cup cider vinegar (see note on subbing lemon or lime juice option) 16 oz canned tomato sauce (to adjust density) 8-16 oz canned tomato paste (to adjust density) Mix all ingredients, bring to a boil, boil 10 minutes. Pour into hot jars, process pints for 15 minutes in BWB. Makes 6 pints. _________ A lot of changes have been made to this recipe over the years. Some people like lemon or lime juice in place of some or all of the vinegar, that's fine. (Note from Sheila - I like half lemon half lime.) Some people leave out the cilantro, that's fine too. Do not increase! Some people add more hot peppers or fewer onions, fine as long as you keep the same total measurements. (Note this is what NCHFP does in their new Choice Salsa recipe.) Some people leave out the sugar, that's fine. You can scoop out the goo in the middle of the tomatoes with your thumbs when I'm peeling and chopping for a less seedy version, so it's 8 cups of chopped tomatoes without the seeds and goo. Most who make it regularly as well as Annie recommend using a variety of different slicing tomatoes, not paste types, for best flavor and consistency. (Note: use the tomato sauce and paste to adjust the consistency of the final product to a "sloshy" consistency.) According to Annie "My salsa is not as thick as Heinz catsup but it's thicker than taco sauce. If you don't like it quite as thick or sweet, cut down the amount of paste. I would add some, then taste. Reducing that ingredient shouldn't affect the safety of the recipe. I use equal amounts of sauce and paste. You can pull it off the heat at any point and adjust for flavor. Before I cook it I check for salt, sugar, check the consistency. Add more pepper or cumin if I want. When I first started making this salsa, tomato sauce and paste came in 8 and 16 ounce cans. Like everything else, they've now been downsized, so now I have to use partial cans." Does anybody have good versions of the other recipes that have weird symbols in them for measurements?

Variation on Katies' Roasted Tomato Garlic Soup
Q
Comments (2)
Thanks for your input, Dave. I'm actually trying to see if I can adapt my previously favorite Roasted Tomato Garlic Soup recipe to be safe for canning. I have been making, freezing, and swooning over this soup for 3 years. My freezer is now full, and I've got about 6 more pounds of almost ripe San Marzano tomatoes; I find less-than-ripe tomatoes don't hurt this recipe at all. It seems pretty close to Katie's but with one unacceptable difference- namely the 5 TBS of olive oil. So I was hoping by backing off on that and roasting the onions vs. sauteeing them I'd end up with something that tastes as good but is safe to can. Adapted from Epicurious recipe: 4 lb tomatoes, halved lengthwise 6 garlic cloves, left unpeeled 3 tablespoons olive oil 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon black pepper 1 medium onion, finely chopped 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, crumbled 2 teaspoons sugar 2 tablespoons olive oil 3 cups chicken stock or low-sodium broth Put oven rack in middle position and preheat to 350F. Arrange tomatoes, cut sides up, in 1 layer in a large shallow baking pan and add garlic to pan. Drizzle tomatoes with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast tomatoes and garlic 1 hour, then cool in pan on a rack. Peel garlic. Cook onion, oregano, and sugar in olive oil in a 6- to 8-quart heavy pot over moderately low heat, stirring frequently, until onion is softened, about 5 minutes. Add tomatoes, garlic, and stock and simmer, covered, 20 minutes. Puree soup in batches in a blender. Kathy

Thanks for sharing that Linda! Karen, I hope you like the soup if you give it try. Sherry mentioned years ago that she sometimes adds some pasta shells to it and calls it dinner. I've done the same along with a salad and some good crusty bread.

I've made and enjoyed that soup so many times and because the garlic is gently cooked, it doesn't taste as stong as you'd think it would. You can make a roux and thicken what's left over for a wonderful cream of garlic sauce. Add some sauteed spinach and mushrooms and serve over pasta or for dozens of other uses.

Thanks again David, for a CF classic.

I LOVE the idea of the cream sauce ruthanna. YUM! I'll be doing that for sure in the future.

Hey Karen! You are back! Yippee! I definitely add rotini pasta to the soup and it makes it more substantial. Delicious stuff!
