About

This rich soup from the Languedoc in South-Western France uses goose or duck fat, but you can substitute a mixture of butter and olive oil if you have to. Though the recipe calls for 20 cloves of garlic, they cook to a mellow and gentle taste and the result is not at all harsh.

Ingredients

4 slices of baguette
2 tbsp olive oil
