How to make roasted garlic soup (GAPS, Primal, Gluten-free, Grain-free)
Today, I bring you one of my favorite creamy, cold-weather soups. Delight of delights, it is also adaptable for the GAPS Introduction Diet. (To learn more about this healing protocol click here)
Note to the chef…it is hard to keep my mitts off the roasted components long enough to get them made into their creamy version…they are that good. It is helpful to double this portion if your kitchen is regularly invaded by “pickers”.
Savor and thrive,
Melanie
GAPS Intro Diet Note: to make this GAPS Intro Diet-friendly, simmer your lightly roasted vegetables for 20 minutes in meat stock or water, strain, and puree. Use fresh basil, rather than dried.
