Directions
cut top off head of garlic and wrap in foil- bake at 350 for 30 minutes.

meanwhile place 12 cups water in large stock pot- add buillion, onion powder and pepper- and heat to dissolve buillion.

Chop all veggies and add to stock base. Bring to a boil over high - then cover and lower heat until just at a boil. Cook stirring occasionally 30 minutes. When garlic is soft and sweet- remove from oven- squeeze to pop cloves free from garlic peel. Add to soup. Working in batches- puree until smooth.

When ready to serve add either 3 oz of cooked and chopped chicken, or 1/2 cup shrimp or picked over crab meat to soup. Garnish with chopped chives( the protein is not added to cal count so you will need to add depending on what you want. This also allows you to add larger portions for men) makes 12 appx 1.5 to 2-cup soup base portions! This is lovely as a light lunch with a simple green salad- or as a first course for a more elaborate meal. Adding crab is my fav!
