Oven-Roasted Garlic

 

Roasted Garlic has a very mellow taste and is so versatile: spread it on bread; mix it into dips, soups, mashed potatoes or pastas.

I normally eat it as a spread with toasted bread. It's simply divine.

Today I added it into spaghetti for a simple and delicious meal for myself. I'll show you how to roast garlic & you can decide for yourself what you want to do with yours.

Garlic, Chickpea and Spinach Soup

 

I should call this 'clean out your fridge and pantry soup'. But it would be unfair to belittle a bowl of warm comfort such as this. 

It's late-winter in my part of the world now; it's no longer chilly and so there is no justification for craving steaming soups. Except that I needed some comfort; and I wanted to throw together a quick and sustainable lunch for myself and the kids. 

 

This garlic flavored creamy soup is uncomplicated & satisfying. Some things in life should just be simple, don't you think?
