[Garlic Soup]
...with the chilly fall weather...it's time to finish up some of Julia's soup recipes...
...Julia says that 'enjoing your first bowl of garlic soup, you might never suspect what it is made of'...she says that the 'after-effects' are minimal because the garlic is boiled...hopefully that's true...
...begin by separating a head of garlic...
...boil for 30 seconds...
...drain...run cold water over and peel...
...I put my herbs in my teaball instead of cheesecloth...
...then put some oil in...
...a couple of cloves...
...and boil for 30 minutes...
...I defrosted some cubes of
flax seed goo...
...and whipped them into an emulsion with some oil...like
making mayonnaise Julia says...
...when it's done...remove the herbs and the cloves...
...Just before serving...using a strainer...
...beat a ladleful of hot soup into the vegan 'egg' mixture...
...then strain the rest of the soup...
...of course the ladleful technique is not really necessary with vegan 'eggs'...
...and serve with bread and vegan cheese...
...this was a pretty creamy looking soup...I wasn't really expecting that...
...and it really was mildly flavored...quite a nice surprise...
Substitutions:
flax seed goo and a sprinkle of kala namak for the egg yolks
Vegan Parmesan for the Parmesan cheese

i've never thought of a soup like that. i'd have to put lots of black pepper on top!
