Can I use a different type of bread instead of sourdough?

While sourdough or country bread is recommended for its texture and flavor, you could experiment with other crusty, robust breads, ensuring they are torn into 1/2-inch pieces as directed.

Is 20 cloves of garlic too much for this soup?

The recipe calls for 1/2 cup (about 20 cloves) of minced garlic, which is essential for achieving the signature 'garlic bread' flavor in this soup. It mellows significantly when cooked and pureed.

Do I have to use white wine in this recipe?

The dry white wine adds a layer of depth and acidity that enhances the overall flavor profile. If you prefer to omit it, you can substitute with an equal amount of vegetable stock or a splash of white wine vinegar diluted in water.

How do I ensure my soup is silky smooth?

After simmering, transfer the mixture to a blender and puree thoroughly until it reaches a silky smooth consistency. You can add more vegetable stock gradually if needed to achieve your desired thickness.

How should I store leftover Garlic Bread Soup?

Store any leftover soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. This soup also freezes well for longer storage, up to 2-3 months.

How to Prepare Garlic Bread Soup [Vegan]

Place a medium stock pot over moderate heat. Add in the oil along with the garlic, stirring frequently, until golden brown; about 3–4 minutes. Introduce the bread, paprika, and thyme next, cooking until the bread is saturated in garlicky oil. Pour in the white wine, sautéing until the liquid has evaporated. Incorporate 4 1/2 cups of the stock, 1/2 teaspoon of the salt, and black pepper last, covering the pot and bringing the mixture up to a boil.
Transfer to a blender and puree until silky smooth. Add more stock and salt to taste, if needed, and ladle into bowls. Garnish with a pinch of parsley if desired.
