garlic soup

Pungent bulb bisque

Garlic soup is a soup featuring garlic as its primary flavoring ingredient.

Versions appear across many cuisines—Spanish sopa de ajo, French soupe à l'ail—typically combining roasted or simmered garlic with broth, bread, and sometimes egg.

The long cooking mellows garlic's sharpness into something sweet and savory: We had garlic soup and crusty bread for dinner.
