You Don’t Have To Pronounce It………
In Brittany they make a garlic soup, thickened with potato, that is delicious served with crusty French bread. This version adds in the spices of the Middle East for an exotic soup that would make a great starter or a light supper. Note that it requires a head of garlic, not just a few cloves. The best way to extract the cloves is to cut across the stalk end of the garlic bulb and then microwave it for about 30 seconds. You can then easily squeeze out the individual cloves.
