Ingredients
- 1 head of garlic
- 4 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt, adjust to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Chopped chives or parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Roast the Garlic: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the top off the garlic head, drizzle with olive oil, wrap in foil, and roast for 30-35 minutes until soft and caramelized.
- Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 5-7 minutes until translucent.
- Cook the Potatoes: Add the diced potatoes and broth to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes until potatoes are tender.
- Blend the Soup: Squeeze out the roasted garlic cloves and add them to the pot. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth, or blend in batches in a regular blender.
- Add Creaminess: Stir in the heavy cream and heat gently. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped chives or parsley. Enjoy hot with crusty bread.
