- Ingredients
- 2 Tbsps butter
- 1 onion (finely chopped)
- 10 cloves garlic cloves (roughly chopped)
- thyme
- ⅔ cup Crème fraiche
- 1 Tbsp white wine vinegar
- salt
- Black pepper
- For the garlic garnish
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 clove garlic cloves (finely sliced)
Preparation steps
1.
Heat the butter in a large, heavy-based saucepan set over a medium heat. Sweat the onion with some salt for 6-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.
2.
Add the roughly chopped garlic cloves and the thyme and sweat for 3-4 minutes, stirring regularly making sure the garlic doesn't colour.
3.
Add 700 ml of boiling water to the saucepan and bring to the boil.
4.
Reduce to a simmer for 15 minutes, then add the crème fraiche and whisk well.
5.
Remove the soup from the heat and discard the thyme sprig. Use a stick blender to puree the soup until smooth.
6.
Return to the heat and adjust to taste using the white wine vinegar and salt.
7.
Keep the heat over a low heat as you prepare the garlic garnish; heat the olive oil in a frying pan over a moderate heat.
8.
Fry the sliced garlic until golden brown, then remove to a plate lined with kitchen paper to drain.
9.
Ladle the soup into soup bowls and garnish with the fried garlic and some black pepper before serving.
