6 cups water
2 large heads garlic, cloves separated and peeled
4 slices French or country bread
1/4 cup fruity olive oil
Salt to taste
1 ripe avocado, cut into 1/2-inch dice
1 teaspoon dried Mexican oregano

1
Place the water and garlic in the slow cooker insert, cover, and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours, or until the garlic is quite tender.
2
Add the bread to the broth and allow to soften for about 10 minutes, then puree the garlic and bread using a handheld immersion blender.
3
Add the olive oil and salt to taste.
4
To serve, place some of the avocado, oregano, cheese, tomato, and green onions in the bottom of each bowl, then ladle in the broth over the ingredients.
5
Top each bowl with a sprinkle of cilantro.
6
I would enjoy a light-bodied white wine or possibly a light, fruity, young red wine with this soup.
