Creamy Roasted Garlic and Goat Cheese Soup

This soup features roasted garlic blended with sautéed onions and finished with creamy goat cheese for a smooth texture. The recipe takes about 50 minutes from start to finish and serves 4 people.

Ingredients

2 heads of garlic
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
4 ounces goat cheese, crumbled
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh thyme or parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Roast the Garlic: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the tops off the garlic heads, drizzle with olive oil, wrap in foil, and roast for 30-35 minutes until soft and caramelized.
Sauté the Onions: In a large pot, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
Combine Ingredients: Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves into the pot with the onions. Add the broth and bring to a simmer. Cook for 10 minutes to meld the flavors.
Blend the Soup: Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, transfer to a blender in batches and blend until creamy.
Add Cream and Cheese: Stir in the heavy cream and crumbled goat cheese. Heat gently without boiling, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh thyme or parsley if desired. Serve hot with crusty bread.
