I changed recipe slightley. I added the can of tomatoes with its juce instead of fresh tomatoes. Have never used so much garlic but thought Id try the right amount. IT was fabulous even my hubby loved it so told him after eating how many cloves He said I should reply to say how great it was. And many thanks.!! -
I took a few liberties with your recipe. I cut out the tomatoe juice, changed the stock from beef to chicken and increased the stock to make up for cutting out the tomatoe juice and it was super. Is'nt it amazing how many people are afraid to use 30 cloves of garlic? It is the natural source of wellness! Thanks!!!! -
I love the flavor that this soup has! I had to make a double-batch because I just couldn't get enough of it! I didn't make any changes or substitutions, I liked it as is. Thank you for this yummy recipe! -
Just made this for dinner--fiance doesn't really like soup but I love it, so I'm always looking for good GARLICKY soups to make, because he LOVES garlic! Like Bergy, I replaced the tomato sauce with chicken broth and used all chicken broth instead of beef broth. I think I used about 30 cloves of garlic. I'm serving this with pasta shells stuffed with ricotta, zucchini, spinach and garlic with tomato sauce. This soup is perfectly seasoned and satisfying. Thanks for posting!! -
Fantastic soup! I followed the recipe except added a shot of vodka at the end. I don’t care for vodka except in pasta sauce and now this soup. I used shredded swiss cheese. Can’t wait for summer tomatoes and will make and share this often. Thanks!

I live in Las Vegas. I was lucky enough to run into Recipezaar around Nov. 2000 and got hooked quickly. I am a cookbook collector and have been collecting recipes for as long as I can remember. My DH had to build in shelves for all my cookbooks! I like to dabble with OAMC and for a few years hosted the Budget/OAMC forum with some great people over there. Even though I don't work in the forum any longer I've set up a lot of cookbooks for the purpose of OAMC and stretching food that might be helpful. Please feel free to check them out! I go on food jags and cooking jags! Please come say hi to me and chat on facebook. I currently host a blog for saving money through finding deals and coupons if you are interested. Most of the time I try to cook and have a good dinner on the table but I'll be honest enough to say there is still fast food occasionally in the budget! I have had such wonderful support here whenever I need it. Thank you all for being here! Just a quick note on how I rate recipes:
? 5 stars - This recipe is perfect. (My DH is truly a critic and doesn't give 5's unless it's amazing) I would recommend it to others and would definitely make again.
? 4 stars - This recipe was good but I would change something in it next time.
? 3 stars - This is a recipe I would not make again but it was OK
? 2 stars - This recipe I would not make again and we didn't like it at all
? 1 star - This recipes did not work out/taste was unappealing and wouldn't make again
