Garlic is the star of this soup, but to create a deeper, more complex flavor, you'll need a few more ingredients. Dry white wine adds a pleasant acidity, thyme and bay leaf provide spicy notes, and Parmesan imparts wonderful umami flavor. Leftover white bread helps thicken the soup, and sour cream adds creaminess. Serve each serving sprinkled with toasted garlic flakes and fresh dill.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:

In a medium saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the crushed garlic and onion and cook, stirring, until softened and light golden, about 8 minutes.
Add the wine, thyme, bay leaf, 1/2 tablespoon salt, black pepper to taste, and the Parmesan rind. Bring to a boil and simmer until reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Add 5 cups water, reduce heat to low, and bring to a simmer; cook until the garlic is very soft, about 30 minutes. Remove from heat, stir in the bread cubes, and let sit for 10 minutes.

Remove the thyme, bay leaf, and cheese rind from the pan, add the grated cheese, sour cream, and 0.5 teaspoon of salt. Pour the soup into a blender in several batches and blend until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Combine the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil, chopped garlic, and a pinch of salt in a skillet and heat over low heat; cook until the garlic is golden and crisp, 12 to 15 minutes.
Ladle the soup into bowls. Top with fried garlic, drizzle with garlic oil, and sprinkle with dill.

To blend hot soup, let it cool for about 5 minutes, then pour it into the blender, filling the bowl only halfway. Cover with a lid, leaving one edge slightly open. Cover the lid with a kitchen towel to prevent the soup from splattering, and blend until smooth.
