Garlic soup

[pumpy]

My Jackie found a recipe for this, but it seemed a bit watery....... just seemed to consist of 2 bulbs, dried & fresh thyme, & bayleaves. Any alternatives? We do like our garlic!

put a few spuds in it that will sort it out

... or even bread, like the French do.

I take allicin capsules every day! I think they are wonderful unless anyone can tell me different.

Anyone else here take allicin?

Does the allicin (the good part) deteriorate as you're biting into it... so not as effective? these capsules are stabilised allicin. ???

[southeast-isher]

Allicin is released only by crushing or chewing raw garlic and cannot be formed from cooked garlic.

The same site also informs us that allicin cannot be formed in the body by the ingestion of any form of garlic - so I'd stick to your stabilised allicin if I were you.
