ROASTED GARLIC AND SHALLOT SOUP



Roasted Garlic and Shallot Soup image

Provided by Florence Fabricant

Categories     soups and stews, appetizer

Time 2h30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

5 whole heads garlic, cloves from 2 1/2 heads peeled
3/4 pound shallots, half of them peeled and coarsely chopped
4 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 large yellow onions, peeled and coarsely chopped
3/4 pound russet potatoes, peeled and quartered
4 cups well-seasoned chicken stock, approximately
1 cup heavy cream, half-and-half or milk, approximately
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Combine unpeeled garlic heads and unpeeled shallots in large bowl, pour the olive oil over them and toss to coat. Season generously with salt and pepper and place them in a single layer in a baking dish along with any oil remaining in bowl. Cover with foil and bake 35 minutes. If shallots are soft by then, remove them. Bake them a little longer if necessary. Continue baking the garlic another 30 minutes or so until it is soft. Allow garlic and shallots to cool.
  • Meanwhile, melt the butter in a heavy three- to four-quart saucepan. Add onions and cook gently for 15 minutes. Do not allow to brown. Add peeled, unroasted shallots and peeled garlic cloves. Cook over low heat 10 minutes longer. Add potatoes, about 1/2 teaspoon salt or to taste, the chicken stock, cream and thyme. Cover and cook about 40 minutes, until potatoes are very soft.
  • Peel roasted shallots. Cut roasted garlic heads in half horizontally and squeeze in a potato ricer or by hand to extract the soft pulp. Add garlic pulp and shallots to saucepan and cook 10 minutes longer.
  • Puree the soup in a blender or food processor. Season to taste with salt and pepper and, if desired, adjust the consistency of the soup with some additional stock, cream or milk or water. Reheat before serving.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Soups, Stews & Stocks     Soup Recipes

2 garlic bulbs, cloves separated (about 40), plus 2 cloves, thinly sliced

CRISPY SHALLOTS AND GARLIC



Crispy Shallots and Garlic image

This gently-fried topping takes a little patience, but leaves you with sweet, aromatic, crunchy bits that will elevate salads, sandwiches, pasta or noodles. And the oil you fry it in also takes on terrific flavor - also great for drizzling on most anything you can think of.

Provided by Francis Lam

Categories     vegetables

Time 1h

Yield 1 1/2 cups fried shallots, plus 2 cups infused oil

Number Of Ingredients 4

8 medium shallots (1/2 pound), sliced 1/8-inch thick on a mandoline
2 cups vegetable oil
12 cloves garlic, sliced like the shallots
Salt

Steps:

  • Add the shallots and oil to a large saucepan. Cook over high heat, stirring occasionally, until the oil bubbles intensely, about 7 minutes; turn heat to medium-low to maintain a spirited simmer. 6 minutes later, add the garlic. Cook, stirring often, and more frequently as it darkens, until the shallots turn from sticky to fluffy and medium golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes later.
  • Strain, keeping the oil, and drain the shallots and garlic in one layer on a paper-towel-lined baking sheet. Season with salt, and let cool until crisp. Fried chips will hold in an airtight container for 3 days, or for 2 months in the refrigerator. The oil, which is great for dressings or drizzling, holds for 2 months in the refrigerator.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling.
  • Choose the Right Garlic: Not all garlic is created equal. For this soup, use firm, plump cloves of garlic that are free of blemishes. Avoid any cloves that are soft or sprouting.
  • Roast the Garlic and Shallots: Roasting the garlic and shallots brings out their natural sweetness and flavor. Be sure to roast them until they are tender and caramelized.
  • Use a Good Quality Broth: The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality broth. Look for a broth that is made with real ingredients and has a rich flavor. Avoid using bouillon cubes or powders.
  • Don't Overcook the Soup: The soup should be simmered until the vegetables are tender, but not mushy. Overcooking the soup will make it lose its flavor and texture.
  • Season to Taste: Once the soup is finished, taste it and adjust the seasoning as needed. Add more salt, pepper, or herbs until the soup reaches your desired flavor.

Conclusion:

Roasted garlic and shallot soup is a delicious and comforting soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a satisfying and flavorful soup, give this recipe a try.
