"If everyone ate more garlic, the world would be a happier place." (Ruth Reichl)

The thing about 44-Clove Garlic Soup is that while 44 cloves of garlic for 4 servings is totally reasonable, 44 cloves of garlic soup multiplied for 8 qts of soup swap soup, is (very decidedly) not. But since my mottos for soup-swap are "keep it simple" and "go big or go home," I decided to go for it. It didn't hurt that I've made this soup before, so I knew it wasn't that hard of a soup to make.

264 cloves of garlic and the realization that I didn't own a blender yet later, my sous chef and I were not sure I'd made the right decision. Thank god for the dollar store and its 15$ blenders: the 8 quarts of shit-ton-of-garlic soup came out perfectly. There is really no way to go wrong when the ingredients of your soup are: onion, butter, a shit ton of garlic, thyme, and cream. It's a soup from heaven, and on these last days of winter/first days of spring, it is exactly what is needed.
