I think this is from a Gilroy Garlic Festival...it's a light, simple, wonderful starter that I serve in mugs before dinner. It's also our cure-all for winter colds. Since it is so simple, the quality of the chicken stock is crucial. I usually add way more garlic and cilantro than the recipe calls for, but heck, when EVERYONE is eating garlic, who cares?

Time 20m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 quart good chicken stock
1/2 cup sliced garlic clove (not TOO thin)
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup lime juice
1/2 cup finely chopped cilantro (or chopped green onions if you are a cilantro-phobe)

Steps:

  • Saute garlic in oil SLOWLY til very soft and golden.
  • Add broth, bring to a simmer, add lime juice and cilantro.
  • Garnish with a few whole cilantro leaves.
  • Obviously this can be played with--I've tossed in chopped avocado, crushed tortilla chips, chopped tomato, etc. But the basic simplicity is its beauty.
