Garlic Broth
Garlic is an herb with remarkable medicinal properties and it tastes great, too. It is a cardiovascular tonic, lowering blood pressure and cholesterol levels and inhibiting blood clotting. It's also a powerful germicide and may protect against some carcinogens. The smell of garlic cooking has extremely positive associations - it's comforting and homey. If you eat garlic regularly (and with a good attitude), you won't smell of it. It's better for you in its natural state - raw or lightly cooked - rather than dried as powder or in capsules. Enjoy the smell, taste and healthful effects of the whole, fresh herb. Sip a warm mug of this flavorful broth as is or use it as a base for other soups.
8 cups vegetable stock
1 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 whole head garlic, cloves peeled and coarsely chopped

Salt to taste
1. To the vegetable stock, add the olive oil, bay leaf, garlic, thyme and sage.
