Garlic Soup Recipe (+)

Directions

Heat oil in saucepan; add onion and cook, stirring, for 1 - 2 minutes.
Reduce heat to low and add garlic. Sprinkle with sugar, if using, and stir to coat well with oil. Partly cover and cook for about 10 minutes to mellow the garlic, making sure it doesn't brown.
Add water and stir to get any bits off sides and bottom of pan. Add stock, rice, thyme and vinegar. Adjust heat to maintain a simmer and cook until rice is tender, about 20 minutes (longer for brown rice).
Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve as is, or for a thicker soup, remove 1 to 2 cups and puree in blender or food processer, return pureed soup to pan and stir in, or use an immersion blender right in the pan. Serve hot, sprinkled with parsley if using.

Garlic scapes are the serpentine curls on the top of developing garlic plants, removed by growers to enhance growth of the underground bulb. They are milder than regular garlic, but still have enough 'zip' to satisfy garlic lovers. This quick and easy pesto, equally good on pasta or vegetables, is an ideal way to take advantage of their very short window of availability.
