If I told you this soup takes more than two heads of garlic to make, would you balk?

Fear not, though, because that copious amount won’t result in a dish (or home-cook) that reeks. The garlic taste is prominent to be sure, but it’s not aggressively sharp or overwhelming pungent.

But what’s genius is that Rosbottom also includes recipes for salads, sandwiches and desserts to round out the soup meal.
