Garlic Soup
Report
This garlic soup is creamy and rich yet not too heavy, with two whole heads of garlic and just a splash of milk. Don't worry! The garlic mellows as it cooks An Aleppo pepper-infused drizzle with crispy fried garlic adds the perfect sweet, spicy, and crunchy finishing touch.

Ingredients
For the Fried Garlic and Aleppo Pepper Oil
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 6 garlic thinly sliced, cloves
- 1 teaspoon Aleppo pepper
For the Garlic Soup
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 onion thinly sliced, large
- 1 cup garlic about 2 large heads, cloves
- 1 pound Yukon Gold potato peeled and diced into 1/2-inch pieces
- 4 cups chicken stock or vegetable stock
- 3 thyme plus more thyme leaves for garnish, sprigs fresh
- kosher salt
- 1 cup milk
Instructions
- Make the Fried Garlic and Aleppo Pepper Oil. In a small frying pan over medium heat, swirl the olive oil and sliced garlic until the garlic is golden, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the Aleppo pepper. Pour into a heat-proof bowl and set aside.
- Make the caramelized base. Heat the olive oil in a Dutch oven or large saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the onion and whole garlic cloves. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion and garlic are golden and caramelized, about 20 minutes.
- Simmer the soup. Add the potatoes, stock, thyme, and a good pinch or two of salt. Increase the heat to high and bring to a boil. Then, reduce the heat back to medium-low to maintain a simmer and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes.
- Finish the soup. Remove the thyme, then use an immersion blender to blend until creamy. Or, transfer to a blender, working in batches with the steam cap off, then return to the pan. Stir in the milk, adding more to your preferred consistency. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
- Serve the soup. Ladle the soup into bowls. Garnish with the fried garlic and Aleppo pepper oil and fresh thyme leaves.
