   Slice the garlic thinly and remove the sprouts, which can burn and create bitterness.

4. 4
   Heat olive oil and garlic in a frying pan over medium heat.

   Once the garlic becomes fragrant, add the minced onion and salt, sautéing until the onion softens.

6. 6
   Add the canned tomatoes and stir-fry for about 1.5 minutes to concentrate the tomato flavor and reduce the acidity.

8. 8
   Pour in the water and granulated consommé, stir well, and bring to a boil.
