Austrian Creamy Garlic Soup (Knoblauchcremesuppe)
Austrian Creamy Garlic Soup (called Knoblauchcremesuppe or Knoblauchsuppe) is a hearty traditional soup, enjoyed on cooler days. Made with garlic, onions, broth, sometimes cream, and sometimes potatoes & herbs, this hearty soup is a beloved meal across many European countries.
Garlic soup, known as Knoblauchsuppe (in Germany) and more specifically as Knoblauchcremesuppe (in Austria), is a hearty and aromatic soup that has a robust garlic flavor, sometimes complemented by the richness of some cooking cream.

Ingredients & Substitutions
- Garlic – fresh cloves of garlic

- Parsley – fresh or dried
- Butter – unsalted is best
- Cooking cream – cooking cream is used in many European recipes. It’s type of whipping cream with a slight difference in fat content.
- Seasoning: bay leaves, salt and pepper to taste
