Bayona’s Creamy Garlic Soup



https://www.foodandwine.com/recipes/garlic-soup


Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 2 tablespoons butter

  • 2 pounds onions (about 4 onions), chopped

  • 2 cups garlic cloves (about 4 large heads), chopped

  • 2 quarts chicken stock or broth

  • 1/2 loaf day-old French bread (about 1/4 pound), cut into chunks

  • 1 bouquet garni: 6 parsley stems, 9 sprigs fresh thyme or 1 1/2 teaspoons dried, and 1 bay leaf

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt

  • 2 cups half-and-half

  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

  • Croutons, optional

    Step 1:

    Heat the oil and butter in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over low heat until the butter has melted. Add the onions and garlic. Cover the pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until onions and garlic very soft and are just beginning to turn golden, about 30 minutes. Remove the lid, increase the heat to moderate and continue cooking the onions and garlic, uncovered, stirring frequently, until deep golden, about 10 minutes longer.

    Step 2:

    Add the stock, bread, bouquet garni, and salt to the pot and bring the soup to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer about 15 minutes.

    Step 3:

    Remove the bouquet garni and discard. Puree the soup with an immersion blender or in a blender or food processor (let the soup cool a bit before pureeing it in a blender or food processor and puree it in small batches so the steam doesn't force the lid off the top). Strain the soup back into the pot. Add the half-and-half and pepper and bring back to a boil. Serve topped with the croutons, if you like.

Creamy Chicken Pot Pie (No peas or Carrots 😳)

Creamy Chicken Pot Pie *Makes 1-3 Pies* I love a good chicken pot pie. Traditionally they aren’t particularly creamy and they usually involve a bag of frozen peas & carrot mix. However, Julie doesn’t eat either so I subbed the two veggies she does eat - green beans and corn. You can use fresh or frozen veggies. I used the the steamer bags that came with garlic butter in the bag and I used fresh local corn cobs, boiled with kernels cut. They are crisp and sweet! I added cream and cream cheese to the filling to make it extra savory for my picky eaters! I usually make & bake 1 pie, and freeze the rest of the filling for another day in a freezer bag Ingredients: (1) Rotisserie chicken picked and chopped. Place in large bowl. (1) bag green bean steamer bag w seasoning - cooked and chopped (1) bag little potatoes steamer bag w seasoning cooked and chopped (1) Vidalia onion chopped (1) yellow bell pepper chopped (2) stalks celery chopped (2) cloves garlic chopped (1) Handful fresh pou...
