Chop Garlic for Tortilla Soup

Video Transcript

"I cut my onions up already. I've got my stock pot already going on medium high heat. I'm going to go ahead and get the onions going with a little bit of vegetable oil. I've got maybe about a 1/4 cup of vegetable oil in the pot. Then I'm going to add in my onions here. Now, if you don't really care for onions, by all means you can definitely use less of them. I think the onions really give it a really nice full flavor, so that's why we have quite a bit in there. We're going to go ahead and do the garlic next. I've got about 5 or 6 garlic cloves here that we're just going to slice up. We're going to add it to our onions. Garlic does cook faster than the onions, which is why we're adding it last. Let those onions get a head start on this. With garlic, you want to be very careful of whenever you cook it because it does burn and it gives it a really bitter taste. If you've ever burned garlic before, you know exactly what I'm talking about. Alright. Okay, so now in goes our garlic. We're going to let that cook for just a few minutes until it's nice and translucent."
