Spanish Garlic Soup


This is a delicious, mellow garlic soup.  It smells heavenly while simmering and would be perfect if you need to give someone with a cold a little TLC.

10 garlic cloves, peeled and sliced
5 cups of beef broth
1 cup of dry sherry
¼ cup of olive oil
French bread, sliced and toasted
Grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper

Sauté the garlic in the olive oil until it turns golden.

Heat the beef broth with sherry. When the broth reaches the boiling point, add garlic and the olive oil.

Season with salt and pepper to taste; then simmer for about 30 minutes.

Sprinkle toasted French bread slices generously with Parmesan cheese, then place them in a 425°F oven for about 3-4 minutes.  Ladle the soup into soup bowls or mugs and top with the toasted cheesy bread.

**Somewhere down the winding road, I lost track of where this recipe originated.  Could have been an email recipe, from a magazine or a cookbook.  I'm sorry not to be able to give credit.
