Fresh Thyme and Garlic Soup

This is the easiest of all the garlic soups to make. I like to throw it together for a lean, simple dinner when the refrigerator is almost bare and I don’t want to go out to shop. You can serve it as a light opener or the main course in an impromptu dinner of salad, some cheeses, and maybe a little fruit. Be sure to have enough crusty bread on hand for dunking.

Very fresh spring garlic and fresh thyme are best for this soup, but don’t give up if you have only summer or winter garlic
