This can help you!
I’ve always liked natural or home ingredients to bring closure to some illness, problematic symptoms or discomfort. This article struck a chord. and I wanted to share with you. I haven’t had this made yet, so I don’t know what it tastes like but I do like garlic and always have.
If any of you have tried this, let me know how it tastes and if you feel any effects. Feedback helps.
Thank you always. I blogged this here hoping it can help someone out there 😉

P.S. By the time I finished this blog post, the garlic soup was made for me without the chicken part and it was delicious.
Garlic Soup – A 100 Times More Efficient Than Any Antibiotics
Garlic soup, made of 50 garlic cloves, one red/purple onion and some thyme tea can fight many flu viruses, colds, or even the new winter virus – Norovirus.
Antibiotics and other medicine seem to have become less efficient with time; therefore people are slowly turning to nature to seek remedies for their health problems having in mind all these types of viruses that are more resistant and stronger nowadays. The winter Norovirus, known as the winter vomiting bug, caused a great concern at the beginning of this year. It is commonly known as Sidney 2012 and has no worse symptoms than other viruses except that it can cause vomiting, diarrhea, and less often higher temperature, headache, or stomach cramps.
What’s interesting about garlic is that any changes, mutations, or new viruses have no whatsoever impact on it and it successfully resists all newly emerged viruses, which is mainly thanks to the chemical substance allicin contained in it. A study carried out at Washington University has shown that white garlic is a 100 times more efficient than the 2 most popular antibiotics used in the fight against diseases, caused by bacteria, which is most often responsible for diseases transmitted through food.
Garlic Soup
People who eat crashed garlic mixed with some olive oil and spread on a slice of bread are healthier than those who don’t. Of course, the big studies are never carried out the way they should be in order for the people to find out the true efficiency and power of garlic, because that’s of no interest to the large pharmaceutical companies.
If you believe in the beneficial effects that garlic can have on your health, we recommend you to try this magical soup.
Ingredients needed for preparation:
- 50 garlic cloves (5 garlic bulbs) cleaned and peeled
- 2 tablespoons of butter
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 2 large bulbs of onion, sliced in pieces
- 1 tablespoon of cut fresh thyme
- 6 cups (250ml) of clear chicken soup
- A bunch of fresh herbs: thyme, parsley, bay leaves ( you can use dried herbs as well)
- 3 cups of stale bread sliced into cubes
- 1 cup of sour cream
Preparation:
First preheat the oven at 180°C. In the meantime, cut the heads of the garlic bulbs, spread them over with olive oil and wrap them in kitchen foil. Place the garlic in a pan, then put the pan in the oven and cook for 90 minutes. Afterwards, leave it to cool down.
Meanwhile, mix 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter in a soup pot and heat the mixture at a moderate temperature. Put the red/purple onion, previously sliced, together with the butter and olive oil and cook for 10 minutes, stirring the mixture more often.
Grind the garlic, which has already been cooked and cooled down, and put it together with the stewed red/purple onion. Whisk well, add the cut thyme and a handful of fresh herbs. Lower the temperature and put the bread cubes in the mixture leaving it to cook for 5 minutes until the bread softens. Take the herbs out of the soup and then mix it in a blender until you get a semi creamy one. Put the soup back into the soup pot, add the sour cream and put some salt and pepper according to your taste. Enjoy this delicious and extremely healthy soup!

I used to dislike the strong odor of garlic, but since have learnt to appreciate it both raw or cooked(especially the fried). I have not tried garlic soup but are fond of onion soup.
Thank you Tsem Rinpoche for sharing.
Garlic is a popular cooking ingredient in Asian food especially Chinese Cooking. It makes the food taste better. It is says that garlic is low in calories and rich in vitamin C, vitamin B6 and manganese. Personally i am not really like garlic, eating garlic is just because it has so many benefit for the health, and of course i use lots of garlic in my cooking to make the food taste wonderful. Thank you Rinpoche for sharing this wonderful article.
I am always aware the benifit of eating garlic, any changes by cooking , I will use a lot of garlic in my cooking recipe. Thank you rinpoche sharing this wonderful article. Will try on above recipe.
I am a huge fan on garlic either cooked or raw and I do hear from people that it does help our body in many ways. However it is not something my mother would take as she is a full vegan. As a practising Buddhist, she does not take garlic along with other black food as it is something that excites you and blocks your wind channel. It also helps in increasing ones appetite.
S/N: I found this video interesting. Popeye sniffing garlic and gained strength.

No doubt that garlic & many other vegetables have tons of advantages & act as prevention & cure to many illnesses. However, our attitude & consistency will show us how far can we go, the better our attitude & being consistent, we will definetely gain positive outcomes.
I am not really a garlic person. I eat garlic depend on how they’re cooked. For example, fried rice always taste better if we put garlic. And a lot of other vegetable dishes do taste better if we add in garlic. I like garlic bread too. But I don’t eat it raw. Garlic really do have lots of benefits, like Chinese saying, garlic helps our body to detox. Other than that, it helps repel mosquitoes, prevent cancer etc. Actually in Chinese dishes recipe, almost all the dishes cooked with garlic.
Garlic indeed has its own benefits. My family’s recipe of garlic soup is used to get rid of the wind/gas in the body. The ingredients are roasted garlics, black beans, red dates, black dates and boil in water. When it’s cooked, one can drink it as soup with your meal.
If you have spend much time in the kitchen, you will be familiar with garlic. If not with the taste, then at least with its pungent smell. Whether you like it, there’s no denying that garlic is not only a flavorful addition to meals, but also a powerful natural remedy as well. In fact, I have read that garlic is one of the best infection fighters available for both bacterial and viral infections. It is a natural antibiotic that does not appear to create resistant bacteria strains. In addition, fresh garlic extract has been shown to be capable of neutralizing or destroying many viruses.
Garlic has been shown to help with detoxifying heavy metals in the body. It has anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antiviral properties. In addition, it has also been credited with helping to:
– remove splinters
– banish cold sores
– repel mosquitoes
– prevent food poisoning
– improve overall skin condition
– prevent hardening of the arteries
– help protect against cancer
– fight off free radicals
Who knew such a tiny pungent tasting and smelling bulb could be capable of doing so much.
I like garlic long before I heard and read of its benefits. Maybe it’s because I like spicy food. Or perhaps my body tells me it’s good for me. I don’t mind the lingering odour in my mouth after eating raw garlic but it’s the heartburn I get that bothers me. Still, I continue eating it raw but to a lesser extent. Fried garlic tastes good minus the heartburn effect.
Garlic is always the first choice serve in my dish. I can’t recall how I gain favor in garlic, perhaps of it benefits of consuming. Whether, the garlic is cooked, stew, fried or raw, I go well with it. As a regular garlic consumer, I personally found out garlic had a power like a protecting shield on skin from infection of insects bites. Other than that, garlic will help in fighting bacteria or virus in our body such as flu, cough.
It is true, taste of garlic may not applicable to some people but there is word says that, a good herbs or medicine will never taste good. As to cover the smell of garlic, my remedy is HACKS sweets… ✌️
I realized that most of the super healthy food have their unique taste! A taste that I am not too fond of. Haha… but the funny thing is that I am fine with fried garlic or garlic bread just not the raw ones.
I read that there are quite a lot of benefits of consuming garlic and the compounds can also reduce blood pressure. For those who enjoy eating garlic, should continue since the benefits are really good for health. For those who don’t like, probably its time to reconsider.

I love Galic .. I just like it’s strong essense. I love to have garlic in all my food. I think it make food taste better. But no garlic during my retreat. I’m fine with it too.
I’ve not try garlic soup but I’m sure it’s good to give a try. We should depend on nature instead of chemical of course. I think garlic soup will be also good to take from time to time to boost our immune system. Just like garlic pills supplements that people take daily. Garlic pills may be convenient but we never know the true ingredients inside. Still by making our own garlic soup is the best.
Thank you Rinpoche for sharing Rinpoche’s own recipe.
The healing properties of Garlic had been propagated for a long time. Food supplements in forms of powder, tonics and many other various form of Garlic had been developed to help us with the enhancement of Garlic properties for our health.
Personally garlic is not a food that I favour and the after effects of garlic is not pleasant for me. It is not the most pleasant odour to inhale when surrounded with people who had just consumed garlic.
However, with so much emphasis placed, I have now began to take some level of garlic and will continue to explore the goodness of this vegetable to assess its goodness.
Happy consuming garlic.
Thank you Rinpoche for this garlic soup recipe. I always read that garlic has a lot of health benefits. It’s good to try this soup recipe. Thank you very much Rinpoche and blog team for sharing this with everyone.
This is good for us to have home-cooked meals which is more healthy as compared buy from outside. Preparing our own meals allow us to ensure the nutritious of the food, control the portion, avoid food allergies and sensitivities.
Thank you Rinpoche for sharing this simple recipe of making garlic soup which can help to boost our immune system.
Thank you Rinpoche for sharing this recipe that oozes health benefits. Judging by the ingredients and method of preparation, the garlic taste is masked, rendering the soup something easily palatable for someone who does not like the garlic (like me). lol. Maybe I will try out this recipe using the vegetarian broth.
In Chinese traditional treatment, garlic is quite well known as anti bacterial. They say eating 2 bulbs of Garlic roasted in its skin for about 20 mins until aromatic helps to build up the immunity level of the body. I like the garlic with butter on toast. The garlic soup recipe looks simple to cook and should taste good. Especially good for those with flu. Thank you Rinpoche for kindly sharing this effective remedy with us.
This is a healthy recipe and seems to be easy to prepare, of cause vegetarian style.
Garlic is know to be very healthy and to learn now that it is 100 times more effective than the 2 most popular antibiotics shows clear evidence.
Sadly enough big studies are not carried out as these studies will not help the pharmaceutical companies and increase their sales but the studies would probably help people consume less medicine with no/less side effects.
Thank You for always sharing beneficial information and ways to improve our health.
This is a must try recipe!
Humbly,
Pastor Antoinette

肚子涨风的人也建议服用这汤, 它也有祛风的作用 !
赞 !
Thank You for sharing Rinpoche, I’m pretty sure that this garlic soup recipe is going to help a lot of people although I’ve not tried it yet. From what I know, garlic is known to act as a natural antibiotic to kill bacteria.
I remember that there was once a H1N1 outbreak in Malaysia, I had a primary teacher who would always bring a container full of garlic and to our class, and wow the smell was something! Haha I’ll never ever forget that teacher, she was like a professional doctor.
I do agree that garlic soup is definitely much much healthier and better than antibiotics. Garlic is natural, besides, taking medication was never a healthy thing, what is healthy is we take vitamins that help to boost up our immunity system so that we can recover from diseases. I never liked taking medicines/injections, unless its necessary, or I’ll just leave it for a few days until it recovers naturally.
Thanks for Rinpoche’s sharing. This is really a good and natural recipes. If need to find a healthy lifestyle, we can try to cook ourself rather than eat outside foods.
Wow, feel hungry when reading this post…
Thanks Rinpoche for the opened secret recipe, may Rinpoche stable health always with such delicious and healthy food…
No wonder Garlic is being included in almost every single Chinese, Malay or Indian meal… and also garlic pills being sold as a supplement. I’ve always known it was good but wasn’t sure good for what type of ailments, or what was the benefit? There must be a reason why our cultures do certain things especially when it comes to spices, the old traditional grandma ways always seems to somehow work. These are natural remedies that boost our own healing and immune system that is more sophisticated and better than any drug. That is why some folks they say to never take antibiotics but instead a lot of vitamins and water are let the immune system fight it. Some Indian doctors also advice the same and would only give certain drugs to withstand the pain but not antibiotics unless it is really necessary.
The thing about is antibiotics kills all the bad as well as the GOOD cells so in the end your body heals but you are an open attraction to more virus and more prone to falling sick again because all the GOOD agents/cells are all dead and cannot protect you. So people tend to fall sick again easily, this I do agree and believe it is true as it happened to me before. So great to know that Garlic is an excellent natural source for preventative medicine, always love anything “natural” and homoeopathy healing. Too bad Malaysia is not huge on homoeopaths, lucky we still treasure and continue our traditions passed down from generation. Thank you Rinpoche for this post! It was beneficial and will definitely try the recipe but with Diana’s recommendations using Cream of Potato soup for a quick meal 🙂
Sounds like a yummy and healthy soup! Anything that can ward of viruses and stronger than antibiotics is a definite great food! Especially by nature 🙂
Home made things are normally the best! Its way more healthier than foods we find outside. Its so fresh when you make food yourself, so when you get a new recipe like this one, we have to take advantage of it.
But i have to say, the soup does sound good. And i don’t normally even like garlic, but in this case, ill make an exception. Homemade soups like this one also give you the chance to make your own modifications to the soup 🙂 you can try new things and add new flavours. And make it even more healthy! Thats how all soups should be made, healthy 🙂
Also, thank you for sharing this with us Rinpoche, I really appreciate Rinpoche sharing recipes with us. Its useful and fun. It shows us how you can have a good tasting soup, without any meat involved. Which in my opinion, is what makes this soup really healthy.
This is an interesting dish. It is true that garlic is well known as a natural remedies for flu and other kind of illness.I have not try this dish yet,but would like to cook this when I have the free time.Will update Dear Rinpoche after I tried it. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you Rinpoche for the sharing. The recipe looks creamy and tasty.
Thank you Rinpoche, this sounds excellent and I will tuck this in with my other healing recipes for future use.
This seems like a wonderful idea for a remedial soup. However, is there a vegetarian alternative for this soup as the recipe does say Chicken soup?
Anyways, I really intend on trying this soup and am willing to experiment with various alternatives with the similar chemical makeup of chicken soup.
Thank you for sharing this interesting recipe though. I have been given the opportunity to cook for my family on Saturdays and this seems like a rather interesting choice for my next Saturday cooking session. Thank you Rinpoche. I will update here if it is successful.
Dear Sean, you are absolutely right! As a vegetarian we modify by not including the chicken part…. 🙂
sorry, no offensive. i though garlic is no no for buddhism?
Sean, you can use veggie broth in its place 🙂
Seem’s like you might get a fast version of this soup by using a vegetarian can potato soup then add all ingredients except bread and broth also half sour creme
Thanks for that suggestion Diana… I will try doing just that!
