This is wonderful I used the whole 15 cloves of garlic. For the Tomatoes I used Italian flavored and I added 1/2 tsp of cayenne instead of a pinch. left out the flour and used apple juice instead of wine The house had a wonderful aroma! This will be a regular Loved it Thanks Mandy for posting it -

I cooked this for ZWT3. I did not puree the soup, because we love chunky soups. I do not believe that being pureed would change the taste. The soup was good, just lacking in flavor. I fear that for the amount of stock there was too much leeks and parsley which drowned out all of the other flavors. We couldn't taste any of the garlic. Next time, I will use 1 leek, maybe 1/4 cup parsley and a couple of more cups of stock. I would also recommend extending the cooking time to 30 minutes. I used the high dollar chicken stock we get at Costco & all fresh ingredients. -
As much as I love garlic, Mandy, I'm sorry to say this soup just didn't do it for me. Tried for ZWT3 and hope someone comes along who can do better by you.
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
Melbourne I live on a 5 acre property in the Dandenong Ranges Victoria, Australia, having moved from the burbs when I became pregnant with my now 15 year old daughter Alyssa.
Once my daughter was born I became a stay at home mum as I couldn't bear the thought of putting her in daycare. She is the light of my life, I never imagined myself as a mum when younger but now wouldn't have it any other way. Alyssa was made a big sister on the 19th April 2010 when our cheeky little boy Blake was born. I love cooking and experimenting with new recipes so quickly become addicted to Zaar as it was previously known & still use it regularly. In addition to being my kids taxi :lol: I also spend my time, reading, gardening and of course shopping. I'm lucky enough that we have the space & so love growing our own fruits, vegies & herbs, this also means we have plenty of room for animals & at the moment have 2 dogs, Max, a Jackshund who's 6, Fletcher, a Kelpie who's 4, 6 cats Snowpea, Fergus, Ginger, Tango, Annie & Cookie, 4 chooks & 2 Ducks.
As well as our pets, we also have a lot of native animals around our area, we have kangaroos, wombats, echidna's, possums as well as rosella's, galah's & Cockatoo's hence the name of where I live..
