Ingredients

  • 1 cube butter (1/2 c.)
  • 1/2 c. minced garlic
  • 2 c. dry white wine (must not be sweet wine)
  • 4 c. chicken stock
  • 1 tsp. white pepper
  • 4 bay leaves (whole)
  • 2 qt. heavy cream or half and half
  • 2/3 c. roux (butter flour mixture)

Method

  • In large stock pot saute garlic in butter for 5 minutes at medium-high.
  • Stir occasionally so as not to brown the garlic.
  • Add pepper, bay leaves, wine and chicken stock.
  • Cook for 1 hour to reduce.
  • Don't cover.
  • If reduction is too severe, add 1 to 2 cups water.
  • After 1 hour remove from heat for 20 minutes to cool.
  • Add cream or half and half to pot, stirring constantly and return to medium-high temperature.
  • When the soup begins to steam, add roux to desired consistency.
  • If you have a wire whip this works best to stir.
  • Cook for 20 minutes more and serve.
  • Enjoy!
