4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions

Sauté garlic: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

- Spice it up with cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes.
- Blend in roasted zucchini or broccoli for more body and flavor.
- For added protein, stir in white beans, lentils, or cubes of tofu.
