Imagine this. I am 11, I come home from school. Grandma awaits with lunch for me. It’s garlic soup that I absolutely love. I eat 3 platefuls of it. I stink of garlic for next 2 days. The end.
No but seriously. Garlic soup by my grandma is imprinted deep in my memory and I tried to recreate it since I don’t have a recipe written down. In the first go I used potatoes (Why, I don’t know. Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me.) And in the second go KABAM.
While it was usually served with “zlate kroglice” which means golden balls in Slovenian (deep fried dough basically) I used croutons. So we are more international baby. Ok, let’s go to the recipe.

Croutons or some other element on top are very recommended!
