Found this in a cookbook--jeanne rose's herbal guide to food--I thought
maybe somebody would find this recipe interesting. I haven't tried it.
reprinted here without permission.

Garlic Soup
2-40 Garlic cloves (1-4 bulbs)
2 T. or more good quality olive oil
1 qt. rich chicken or vegetable broth or stock
3 egg yolks
chopped parsley, yogurt, ground almonds

Crush the garlic cloves with the falt of a knife and skip off the skins.
Saute the galric slowly in the oil in a cast-iron skillet until
translucent. Add the broth or stock to the garlic (the liquid only--no
solids or blended foods), and simmer gently about 20 mintues until the
garlic is mushy. Press the garlic broth through a cheesecloth, seive,
or ricer into a bowl. Beat the egg yolks until thick with a wire whisk
in a two-quart pot. Then beat in slowly, a teaspoon at a time, some of
the warm garlic broth--to warm the yolks without cooking them. Combine
the two mixtures slowly, heat to boiling, and serve in wide soup plates.
The soup is seasoned by the broth, so if you'd like more seasoning, add
it.
Garnish with the chopped stuff and the yogurt.

if anyone should try it, please let me know what it's like. says here
it's like a rich leek soup.

Damn. Sorry for the years gone by, but I had no idea that an entire soup could come from garlic.

I don't mind. I use real garlic to mask the real bad breath brewing beneath it. People go, "Eww, garlic", when they encounter my breath, but little do they know that without the garlic to dim the truly sick reek beneath, it would be far worse than they could ever imagine. I use garlic to mask my own bad breath. I also find the medical face mask is food for dimming the dual threat stink cloud.

My wife used to have garlic coming off her breath and skin - I loved it! Her mom was Korean so she ate a lot of garlic. When she moved out of her parent's place, the smell went away. One time, she had lunch with her mom. She dropped by the office to say hi. I went to the car to see her and said that it smelled like a garlic truck crashed into a kim chee factory in there. She thought that was pretty funny.

Michael's an excellent example of American ignorance and explains how
Americans were able to vote for the Trump clown. The deplorables are
poorly educated, poorly informed, have never been out of their own
country and are easily influenced. Yet they do have the right to vote.
And there you are: Donald Trump. I can't wait for the next American
election. May I suggest Sylvester Stallone? :)

I do cook with a lot of garlic - but not like her mother. My wife's mom's cooking was a revelation for me. It showed me the possibilities of garlic without limitations.

My wife loves this soup. I like to stay away from it myself.

I know what you mean. OTOH, FOB Koreans tend to smell strongly of garlic. I've been in elevators with Korean bar girl type women. Their smell is quite a blast. I don't mind it though since the exposure is only for a few floors. :)

I can't say much about the smell of Hawaiians but the Japanese tourists must take a punch to their noses on this rock. Those people aren't really used to smelly folks in their country. The Japanese must really get irritated by the smell of Koreans.

Why do you say it sucks? It's a classic Aïgo Boulido (give or take
an herb or two).

"an herb" looked strange to me until I realised how Americans
pronounce "herb". Erbie Ancock.
