Garlic soup is a comforting and flavorful dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer or a light meal. The key to a great garlic soup is using fresh, high-quality garlic. Roasting the garlic mellows its flavor and adds a touch of sweetness. This recipe uses a combination of chicken broth, white wine, and cream to create a rich and creamy soup. Crispy prosciutto adds a salty, savory flavor and a nice textural contrast to the smooth soup. A sprinkle of chopped fresh parsley adds a final touch of flavor and color.
In addition to the classic garlic soup recipe, the article also includes recipes for two variations: a vegan garlic soup and a roasted garlic and potato soup. The vegan garlic soup is made with a combination of vegetable broth, coconut milk, and roasted garlic. The roasted garlic and potato soup is a hearty and flavorful soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. All three of these soups are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Using a sharp knife, trim the top off of each head of garlic, keeping the bulb intact. Place each bulb in a square of Reynolds Wrap® Aluminum Foil. Drizzle each bulb with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, sprinkle with salt, pepper and about 1 teaspoon of thyme leaves. Wrap foil around bulbs and place on a baking sheet. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until garlic is very tender. Open foil carefully by cutting along top with a sharp knife, allowing steam to escape; then open top.
- In a large pot over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add chopped shallots and saute on medium-high heat for 5 minutes. Add potatoes, remaining thyme and bay leaf. Squeeze the soft roasted garlic cloves into the pot. Saute for 3 minutes over medium heat. Stir in broth and 1 cup cream. Bring to boil and then reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally for 30 minutes or until potatoes are very tender. Remove from heat; let stand 10 minutes to cool. Remove thyme and bay leaf.
- For the prosciutto, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place slices flat on a foil-lined baking sheet. Bake for about 15 minutes, or until crispy. Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Break the prosciutto into small pieces and set aside. In a blender, puree soup in batches until smooth; return to pot. Stir in remaining cup of cream and bring to a simmer. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Ladle soup into bowls and garnish with crispy prosciutto, lemon zest, a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of smoked paprika. Finish with a few leaves of parsley.

PROSCIUTTO CRISPS
This recipe is sponsored by Target. Salty, porky, crispy prosciutto. What's not to love about that? Very often for cocktail hour, I do a prosciutto and Parmesan plate with Aperol Spritzes. To add a little twist, I'll serve some prosciutto as is, and some crisped in the oven. Make extra crisps and have them with eggs in the morning, or crumbled on a salad or on a simple plate of buttered pasta tossed with Parmesan.

Tips:
- Choose the right type of garlic. For the best flavor, use fresh garlic cloves. Avoid using garlic powder or garlic salt, as they will not provide the same depth of flavor.
- Roast the garlic before using it. Roasting the garlic mellows out its flavor and makes it more digestible. To roast garlic, simply cut off the top of the bulb, drizzle it with olive oil, and wrap it in foil. Roast the garlic at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 45 minutes, or until the cloves are soft and golden brown.
- Use a good quality broth. The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a broth that is made with real bones and vegetables, and avoid broths that are made with artificial flavors or MSG.
- Don't overcook the soup. Garlic soup is best when it is slightly creamy and thick, but not too thick. Overcooking the soup will make it bland and watery.
- Serve the soup with crispy prosciutto. Crispy prosciutto adds a salty, savory flavor to the soup that complements the garlic flavor perfectly. To make crispy prosciutto, simply fry slices of prosciutto in a pan until they are crispy and browned.
Conclusion:
Garlic soup is a delicious and comforting dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Serve it with a side of crispy prosciutto and a crusty bread roll for a complete meal.
