A surprisingly delightful and comforting soup that transforms simple ingredients into a rich and flavorful experience. The nutty Swiss cheese melts into a creamy broth, infused with the subtle aromas of garlic and white wine, creating a sophisticated twist on classic comfort food.
In a large pot, bring the chicken stock to a boil over high heat. (Approximately 5 minutes)
Reduce heat to low, stir in the crushed garlic, and simmer gently to infuse the stock with garlic flavor. (Approximately 10 minutes)
In a separate skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. (Approximately 1 minute)
Whisk in the flour and cook, stirring constantly, until a smooth, golden roux forms. (Approximately 2-3 minutes)
Gradually whisk the garlic-infused stock into the roux, ensuring no lumps form. (Approximately 3 minutes)
Stir in the white wine and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring constantly, until the soup thickens slightly. (Approximately 5 minutes)
Reduce heat to the lowest setting and gently stir in the shredded Swiss cheese until it is completely melted and the soup is smooth and creamy. (Approximately 2-3 minutes)
Serve immediately, garnished with fresh herbs or a sprinkle of nutmeg, if desired.

May 7, 2025Be careful not to boil the soup after adding the cheese, or it will separate. I learned that the hard way!
