I made this tonight, and I will admit, I was very hesitant at first based on the mixed reviews I had read from everyone else. For us, this was a huge hit! My boyfriend and I love making homemade soups, and this is a definite keeper. I roasted 3 large elephant garlic heads, but before I mixed it with the rest of the ingredients (when it was time, I made sure to pull off the outer part that was green-brown-ish as it was somewhat bitter. Maybe I did something wrong, maybe that's how it's supposed to be, I dunno :P

Anyway, I followed the recipe exactly, and did use the heavy cream. It was super rich and creamy and wonderfully velvety. Served alongside a nice salad, this was one yum supper for us.

The directions work well. Don't bother with the optional cream and we did follow the infused stock directions from the episode.

BUT we will be eating this with some roast turkey, egg noodles, a pinch of red pepper flake and maybe some bell pepper. Toss in some sour cream and it would make a great stroganoff base as well.

I made this soup, as directed (without cream and think that the Italian seasoning was a bit overpowering. It had a good taste, but I'm not sure that I will make it all of the time.

Just made this and my wife & I loved it. I had 2 heads of garlic I had roasted while making some ribs earlier in the week. Started by sauting 2 medium onions in butter and OO until soft. Added garlic for 5 minutes. Removed from pan and made the roux, did not go as dark as Guy. Added chicken stock, the reserved onion and garlic, white pepper and hit it w the boat motor to puree the garlic and onion. Wonderful. Don't add the water or the cream, only dilutes the flavor. Will make for my vegetarian sister Fran when whe visits w vegtable stock. A real keeper.

The creamy consistency and the flavor are just wonderful - warming to have on a cold day. Also it is Garlic at it's best.

PS the actual prep time is NOT 10 min. It is about an hour and 1/2 when you include the roasting time for the garlic.

This tasted like garlic mushroom condensed soup, only without the mushroom. I was not impressed. I love Guy's other recipes, but this was a miss.

Well this recipe is missing one thing

FLAVOR! When I smelled the Garlic roasting in the oven, I COULDNT WAIT!

Then I followed his recipe to a T ..Prior to adding the heavy cream, the soup matched the one on TV. Almost looked like a Pea soup

Then went in for a taste, and I dont know what happened?! Wheres the garlicky goodness?

Maybe its me? Maybe my palate is so used to having an onion (for the very least to go along with the garlic

SO I tried to salvage it ...Adding a tumeric cumin coriander mixture (tbspn ...eh it helped needed more

Went through my pantry found a packet of Liptons onion soup mix - really needs that onion flavor. It helped.
Just watch the salt if youre going to add the soup mix

Now I dont own any restaurants, but I could follow a recipe er 2. This one is flawed, I wouldnt be making this again. Im sorry!

For those of you who asked, and based upon watching the episode, and no cream used, I think this will be a fine recipe. Instead of using cream, he used the broth he used from the mirepoux for the garlic chicken, thus giving it extra flavor. He also added water. He used the same broth for his gravy for the chicken recipe. I will make both this week and return with my impression of each recipe.
