CHILLED GARLIC AND SPINACH SOUP



Chilled Garlic and Spinach Soup image

Green garlic, which greatly resembles an overgrown scallion, has a mild flavor. Heads of fresh garlic are mature but just harvested. Because they haven't been cured for winter storage, they're very juicy. If you can't find either type of garlic, substitute scallions for the green garlic and regular (cured) garlic for the fresh. The soup will still be delicious.

Time 3h

Yield Makes 6 cups

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 to 4 heads fresh garlic (enough for 3 tablespoons)
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
Coarse salt
2 cups low-fat plain yogurt
6 to 10 green garlic stems, trimmed and cut into 1/4-inch slices (1 cup)
1 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1/2 pound baby spinach (6 packed cups)
1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, plus small leaves for garnish
