30 Cloves of Garlic and Bean Soup image

Got this from a Happy Hour friend, who grew up on this. All the garlic smells WONDERFUL simmering, but does not have a strong taste at serving. All the measurements are "abouts" - 3 cups/2 cups - whatever. It's SOUP, not brain surgery ! Flavors improve after sitting a day or 2. I have not tried to freeze.
