This is the vegetarian's answer to the chicken soup that you make when you are sick.  And awfully good too.

12 cloves garlic, peeled and quartered

1 ½ T. butter

1 ½ T. olive oil

4-6 c. good quality broth or bouillion

1/4 c. chopped fresh parsley or cilantro

1/4 c. red wine, if you use it in cooking.

Easier than pie!  Heat the butter and olive oil in a pot until the butter is melted.  Saute the garlic until soft, but don't let it get brown.  Add the broth and bring to a boil.  Add red wine and cook for 15-20 minutes.  Add freshly ground pepper and the parsley or cilantro and dig in.  By all means, eat the garlic.  It's good for you!
