“….another winter has come, your head and hands go numb, looking forward to the frost and snow, nights spent near the fire watching the embers glow, the cat snuggled in tight curl a nice mug of warm chocolate thaws out my nose and brings life back to my toes, as I climb the wooden hill I think of all the nice things I like about this time of year.” – Winter Again by Steve Katz.
Holiday Season already started and so is the spine-chilling winter breeze as the sun set down I become a couch potato and every evening I am in desperate need of a hot steaming bowl of soup to warm up my body for the night and what can be more comforting than a warm Creamy Garlic Soup. This is family’s favorite recipe because we all are garlic lovers and who doesn’t like Garlic, except Vampires. By cutting out the heavy cream that is traditionally in this recipe, and replacing it with light cream, I tried to reduce the fat content in this soup and also make it taste lighter and less creamy so that it does not sit in your tummy and stops you from having a good night sleep.
Unlike French Onion Soup onions and garlic need not be browned for this recipe, therefore I consider it a great quick weeknight soup also. Meanwhile, you are preparing for the main course the soup is ready and then the whole family can sit around the fire after a long day of hard work, enjoy soup and share a comforting word or two with each other. If you prefer to serve the soup along with oven roasted bread croutons or a spoonful of roasted garlic pods.
