Garlic and Cheese Soup (Anti-Vampire Potion)
By Sue Lau | Palatable Pastime
Garlic and Cheese Soup (Anti-Vampire Potion) is my recipe of the day with the blogging group Soup Swappers. We get together once per month to share our favorite and best soup recipes.
This month, of course, we are sharing recipes that are perfect for Halloween.
Of course, the perfect recipe in my mind is one that dispels vampires. As I curl up with my movie night with all the favorites: Dracula, Le ‘Estat, Barnabas Collins, Blade, Edward Cullen, Eric Northman and more, I really am going to need a ton of garlic to keep them from biting me where the sun don’t shine, IYKWIM.
And since garlic is the best kept secret for holding them off until they disappear into their unearthly coffins, this garlic cheese soup does just the trick.
The roasted garlic is mildly flavored, so as not to overpower you, and just enough to go with the cheese. Which is blended with both white and sharp cheddar, but you can use whichever you prefer. Just make sure to stir it in off the heat so the proteins don’t separate out and make it stringy (excess heat does that).
