- Heat until steaming over low heat, stirring gently.
- Add about 1 cup of the liquid soup to the garlic mixture. Whirl until well-blended.
- Pour the mixture back into the saucepan and heat through (do not boil).

(Adding 3 or 4 cooked ravioli to each bowl will convert this delightful Roasted Garlic and Yogurt Soup into a main course meal.)
