Garlic Soup, with potato and celery

 

My dad used to make this, not sure where he got the recipe. My mum still has it in her head :-) 

20 peeled cloves of garlic - chop 5 but leave the rest whole. Start with an onion, chop n fry. 

Add any white vegetables like potato, leek, celery, mushrooms. Sauté for 5 mins then add chicken stock and black pepper. Simmer for 30 mins. Serves 4.

I added some white wine and lemon juice to give it a shine, and some crushed chillies for extra kick.

The whole garlic just looks and tastes like potato, so the flavour isn't over-powering. Wards off all colds and flus!
