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!
