This can be enjoyed with garlic bread, toasted bread or on its own.  You can add more milk if desired. I also added a little bit of butter to the blended soup. This is a really tasty and pleasant way to get your nutrients, especially iron if you want to break from a regular smoothie.  Also, you can add other seasonings as desired. This makes for about 2 servings.

Ingredient Spotlight!

~ Garlic~

Garlic (Allium sativum), is a vegetable widely used for flavouring when cooking. However, due to its potent nutrients, many have used it for medicinal purposes.

One raw clove of garlic is said to be packed with nutrients such as fiber, calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium, manganese, etc. It also reportedly contained vitamins such as vitamins A, C, B1 (thiamin), B6 (pyridoxine), folic acid, and Vitamin K, among others.

Due to its many potent nutrients, garlic can reportedly help boost the immune system and prevent colds and the flu virus.

You can add garlic to meat, vegetable, and soup dishes.  You can even have it raw if desired.

To good health!
