TODAY'S RECIPE
__________________________________________________
I am convinced that people who don't like garlic must be from some
parallel universe, and if they aren't, they should be sent to one. In
this recipe the garlic satisfies with its aroma alone.
Garlic Consomme
6 cups (1.5 L) beef, chicken, or vegetable stock
12-15 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 bouquet garni made by tying together a bay leaf
and sprigs of fresh thyme, parsley, and oregano
1 cup (250 ml) tomato juice
1/4 cup (60 ml) brandy or sherry (optional)
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
Cayenne pepper to taste (optional)
Bring the stock, garlic, and bouquet garni to a boil over high heat.
Reduce the heat and simmer covered for 1 hour. Add the remaining
ingredients, stirring to combine well. Strain the soup and discard
the garlic and bouquet garni. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours and
adjust the seasoning before serving. Serves 4 to 6.
