Cream Of Garlic Soup With Cilantro


This comes from my favorite cuban cookbook, 'a taste of cuba' and is aka sopa de ajo ala crema con cilantro. I know two heads of garlic sounds like a lot but when cooked in this soup it becomes quite mild.

Steps


Separate and peel the garlic cloves.
Place the garlic , onions , and water in a large saucepan over medium-high heat and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to low , cover and simmer 30 minutes , stirring occasionally.
Remove the soup from the heat and stir well , breaking up the garlic pieces.
Stir in the butter until melted then stir in the cream and serve immediately , topped with chopped cilantro.

Ingredients


garlic, onions, water, butter, heavy cream, fresh cilantro
