A rich and creamy soup featuring deeply flavored roasted garlic, perfect for cold evenings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large head garlic
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 Celsius). Slice the top off the garlic head to expose the cloves. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, wrap in foil, and roast for 30 to 40 minutes until soft.
  2. While the garlic roasts, melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until soft, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add the diced potatoes and vegetable broth to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.
  4. Squeeze the roasted garlic pulp from the skin into the pot. Stir to combine.
  5. Carefully transfer the soup mixture to a blender or use an immersion blender. Blend until completely smooth and velvety.
  6. Return the soup to the pot over low heat. Stir in the heavy cream, salt, and pepper. Heat through gently; do not boil.
  7. Serve hot, perhaps with crusty bread for dipping.

Notes

  • For an extra layer of flavor, add 1/2 cup of grated Gruyère cheese during the final heating step.
  • If you prefer a thinner soup, add more broth until you reach your desired consistency.
  • Roast an extra head of garlic to use as a topping or spread on bread.
