Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Peel and thinly slice 2 heads of garlic, about 20 cloves. Set aside.

  4. Remove the lid, taste the broth, and season with salt and pepper as needed. Stir well.

  7. Stir in chopped parsley and thyme leaves, adjust seasoning if needed, and warm through for another minute.
