Ingredients

1 head of garlic
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
4 cups fresh spinach, washed and chopped
4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream or coconut milk
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional)
Croutons or toasted bread for serving (optional)

Instructions

Roast the Garlic: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the top off the garlic head, drizzle with olive oil, wrap in foil, and roast for 30-35 minutes until soft and caramelized.
Sauté the Onion: In a large pot, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent (about 5 minutes).
Add Spinach: Stir in the chopped spinach and cook until wilted (about 2-3 minutes).
Blend the Soup: Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves into the pot, then add the broth. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth, or transfer it in batches to a blender.
Add Creaminess: Stir in the heavy cream or coconut milk. Heat gently over low heat without boiling. Season with salt, pepper, and lemon juice, if using.
Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and top with croutons or toasted bread if desired.
