Garlic Soup

Some people think that garlic should go in everything, except perhaps dessert! This is the soup for that kind of garlic lover. It is simple and subtle, not nearly so strong as one might expect since garlic mellows when it is cooked. It's a lovely autumn or winter starter.

7 cups beef stock
2 tbsps. olive oil
1/4 cup chopped garlic
2 bay leaves
1 teaspoon dried thyme
3 tbsps. chopped fresh parsley
Salt and pepper to taste

Bring the broth to a rapid boil in a large pot over high heat. Heat the olive oil in another large pot over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook 3 to 5 minutes, until soft. Add the hot broth, bay leaves, thyme and parsley. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and let simmer 20 to 25 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove bay leaves before serving. Maskes 4 to 6 servings.
