"This comes from my favorite Cuban cookbook, 'A Taste of Cuba' and is AKA Sopa de Ajo ala Crema con Cilantro. I know two heads of garlic sounds like a lot but when cooked in this soup it becomes quite mild."

I would rate this 5 stars since the recipe was so easy to make, but the taste wasn't as good as I had hoped. I was a little leary of using so much garlic, but in the end it did not really taste like garlic at all. All I could taste was the cream and the cilantro. I think I may try this again sometime and add some spices or something else to it.
