Garlic Broth Base for Soup
2 small heads of garlic, peeled and crushed
2 teaspoons olive oil
7 cups water
Remove the green little piece in the garlic (it makes the garlic bitter).
In a heavy pot, heat the oil over low heat & add the garlic. Stir the garlic often until it is translucent and soft,
do not let the garlic brown. (This will take about 20 minutes or so.)
Pour in 7 cups of water. Bring to a boil at medium heat, then lower heat again and let simmer, uncovered, for 40 minutes. Add salt and pepper to season if you like.
