Too much garlic

There is such a thing! At least, when it's half the jar of fresh peeled cloves left over from the feast (about 2-3 lbs). I wonder if garlic can be frozen. Anybody have good recipes calling for LOTS of garlic?

Cream of garlic soup. Like the garlic sauce, though more so. I'd try sautéing a bunch of the garlic with some fresh minced onion in some olive oil. Add to enough well seasoned chicken stock to cover and simmer for a bit. To avoid the sticking issues, do a bechemel sauce with a toasted roux in a different pan, and combine shortly before serving, with fresh chopped scallions for colour. Revise to taste.

Mmm that sounds yummy. Of course my hubby probably wouldn't want to touch me with a ten foot pole afterwards. But it would be worth it!
