For a long time I was looking for a different and atypical cream soup, and one day while I was browsing in internet I found this recipe. On first glamp it was looking strange while I was reading how much garlic containst the recipe, but my explorer’s soul whispeared me try it, try it. Guided by my six sence I’ve decied to try it and that descion was right.
When I’ve tried for the first time the result of my experiment I felt very strong flavour of rosted garlic which has transformed in deep and amazing fragrance of different flavour which combination were combined very well.
I will not hide from you that the soup it’s strange, but let you give a chance to eat several spoons.
Peace and happiness, begin, geographically, where garlic is used in cooking.
