    • Reviews

  • “The soup was very ordinary for us. The roasted garlic flavor did not come through much. Sorry…”

  • “Simply delish!The aroma of the garlic baking was lovely.I will admit, I am a garlicaholic, and I used 2 whole heads.I used spinach and also about 1/8 of a cup of red wine, just because I had it around and I wanted to use it up.Thank you for sharing such a wonderful comforting soup.”

  • “This is a bit of a strange review because I did leave out two ingredients Kale & Broccoli however I checked with Meowna before posting this review & the picture she said please go ahead & post. The soup was delicious, the roasted garlic gave it a mellow warm flavor.I love Kale& broccoli in soup but did have them on hand so went ahead without them. I will make this soup again with all the ingredients but it was delicious even without them. Thanks Meowna for a cold day heart warmer”

  • “This is a very good, hearty soup. I didn’t have any greens in the house, so I just added some other veggies (cauliflower, celery). This soup has a wonderful garlic flavor. Can’t wait to make this next time with the greens! Terrific recipe!!:)~Manda”
