This French garlic soup (velouté) is something you must try at least once in your life; it’s creamy, silky and flavorsome. Surprisingly, the garlic taste is not as strong as you would expect. On top of all this, it’s super healthy. According to some health pundits garlic soup is more potent than antibiotics.
As far as culinary skills go, this is a great recipe to practice with because it uses mayonnaise as a binding agent. This is not a technique you commonly see in recipes.
This particular recipe comes from the village of Lautrec regarded as one of the prettiest villages in the south west of France. Ideally you should try to get your hands on the pink variety of garlic but if this is hard to come by then any purple variety is fine.
