"You can never have enough garlic. With enough garlic, you can eat The New York Times."
-Morley Safer
This soup is good hot but better as a chilled summer soup. The flavors are at once sweet and savory, and served with a side salad and a slice of grilled or toasted bread, it makes the perfect al fresco meal.

3 tsp | olive oil (divided) |
1 lb | boneless skinless chicken thighs (cut into 1 inch chunks) |
3 medium | white onions (thinly sliced) |
2 cups | no salt added vegetable or chicken stock |
3 cups | water |
3 | heads roasted garlic (about 30 cloves) |

6 medium | green onions (sliced into 1 inch pieces; keep white and green parts separate) |
1/2 cup | 2% milk |
Place 1 teaspoon olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken and sauté, stirring frequently, until browned on all sides. Remove to a bowl and allow to cool; when room temperature, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator.
Place 1 teaspoon olive oil in a 4-quart saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions and sauté, stirring frequently, until the onions are caramelized; about 10-15 minutes.
Add the stock, water, salt, and garlic to the onions, stir, and simmer, covered, for 40 minutes.
Place the stock mixture in a blender or food processor (or use an immersion blender) and blend until smooth.
Return the mixture to the saucepan (if necessary) and add the cooked chicken thighs. Stir, then chill.
