Recipe Ingredients

GARLIC: This soup is made with a whole garlic bulb, which is 10 garlic cloves. It seems like a lot, but the garlic is slowly simmered to help it caramelize and create a sweet flavor where you won't notice the garlic taste.

ONION: Two small yellow onions are diced to create 3 cups worth. You can also use white onions or red onions, depending on what you have available.

TOMATOES: The soup uses a large (28 oz) can of diced tomatoes. Choose a can without any added herbs as there is plenty being added to the recipe already.

SEASONINGS: The soup is made with a combination of thyme, parsley, salt and pepper. It's simple but adds a really lovely flavor.

Recipe Tips

Garlic and onion should simmer for a full 20 minutes to get the best flavor.
To prevent burning, reduce heat to a low-medium temperature (less than "medium") so that onions cook very slowly during this step.
To save time, use a garlic mincer to puree the garlic.
You only need 2 cups of broth for this recipe. Freeze the leftover broth in an ice cube tray for future soup recipes!
Soup leftovers will thicken slightly. This makes them great to use as a flavorful pasta sauce. Just reheat in the microwave and serve on top of fresh pasta.
