Authentic Thuringia Style Garlic Soup

Do you love garlic? If yes, you will love this German soup. The Thuringia style garlic soup is from the German region Thuringia or “Thüringen” – wonderful region in the middle towards the North of Germany. In German we call this soup “Knoblauchsuppe”.
Grlic is healthy and when you remove the green part inside the clove the typical smell that many people don’t like,  won’t be so intense. You can use a  a garlic press and when the clove is pressed through you can remove the the green part inside easily. Happy Cooking!
