Sherry-Laced Garlic Soup With Pasta Stars

• 10 garlic cloves, peeled
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 5 cups vegetable stock
• salt
• cayenne
• 1/2 cup star shaped pasta or 1/2 cup other tiny pasta
• 2 tablespoons dry sherry

1. Place the garlic and olive oil in a blender or food processor and process until smooth.
2. Transfer to a large pot over medium heat and cook until very fragrant, about 3 minutes, being careful not to let the garlic brown.
3. Stir in the stock and season with salt and cayenne to taste.
4. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to medium-low, and simmer for 20 to 30 minutes.
5. Meanwhile, cook the pasta in a pot of boiling salted water, stirring occasionally, until al dente, about 5 minutes. Drain and divide among 4 soup bowls.
6. When ready to serve, add the sherry to the soup, ladle into the bowls, and serve at once.
