Steps

Read instructions and get ready to cook

1
Roast the garlic

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the tops off 3 heads of garlic, exposing the cloves. Place the garlic heads on a sheet of aluminum foil, drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and wrap tightly. Roast the garlic in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the cloves are soft and caramelized.

2
Prepare the vegetables

While the garlic is roasting, dice 1 large onion and peel and chop 2 large russet potatoes into 1-inch cubes.

3
Sauté the onion

In a large pot, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until softened and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.

4
Add potatoes and broth

Add the chopped potatoes and 4 cups of vegetable broth to the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

5
Squeeze roasted garlic

When the roasted garlic is cool enough to handle, squeeze the cloves out of their skins and into the pot with the potatoes and broth.

6
Blend the soup

Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth and creamy. Alternatively, you can blend the soup in batches in a regular blender.

7
Add cream and seasonings

Stir in 1/2 cup of heavy cream, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Heat the soup over low heat until warmed through.

8
Prepare the thyme

Remove the leaves from 2 tablespoons of fresh thyme.

9
Serve

Ladle the roasted garlic soup into bowls and garnish with the fresh thyme leaves. Serve hot, with crusty bread or croutons, if desired.
