Double Garlic Soup image

I clipped this recipe from the newspaper. It intrigued me because of the two levels of garlic flavour. For garlic lovers........... NOTE: To roast garlic-cut off top quarter of the head so the cloves are showing. Put cut-side down in a parchment lined baking dish. Bake @ 350*-30 minutes. Turn cut side up & cover with foil, baking 15-20 minutes more. It should be soft and squeezeable. Sometimes, I drizzle olive oil over the cut part before roasting. NOTE: Cooking time does NOT include time to roast garlic.
