Ingredients
- 4 medium potatoes peeled and cubed
- 1 onion peeled and halved
- 1 garlic head
- Olive oil
- Salt and pepper
- 1 tsp dried rosemary
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1.5 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- Chili flakes and fresh parsley for garnish
- Fresh French baguette to serve with
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the diced potatoes, halved onion, and garlic head on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Drizzle generously with olive oil and sprinkle with salt, pepper, thyme, and rosemary.
- Roast in the oven for 30 minutes. Then, carefully remove from the oven, cover with foil, and return to bake for an additional 15-25 minutes or until the potatoes are tender and the garlic cloves are soft and golden.
- Once roasted to perfection, transfer the vegetables to a large pot. Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of their skins and add them to the pot.
- Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and heavy cream. Use a hand blender to blend the mixture until it becomes smooth and creamy. Alternatively, transfer the mixture to a food processor or blender, blend until smooth, then return it to the pot.
- Taste the soup and season with salt and pepper to your liking. Warm the soup gently on the stove over medium heat.
- When ready to serve, ladle the roasted garlic soup into individual bowls. Garnish with a drizzle of olive oil, chopped parsley, dill, or chili flakes. Pair it with a fresh baguette for a delightful meal. Enjoy every comforting spoonful!
