• grated Parmesan cheese, to taste

Directions:

Combine garlic, seasonings, water and oil and bring to a boil. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes. Crumble bread into the soup and return to a boil. Serve with grated cheese. 4 servings.

There is a note written on this recipe that says that this soup is good to serve when fighting a cold or flue because garlic is nature's antibiotic. Not sure if this is true or not, but I have heard there are many health benefits to eating garlic.
