Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 25 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 large, diced Yellow onion
- 2 teaspoons Fresh thyme
- 4 cups Chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 Bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 loaf (optional, for serving) Crusty bread
- 2 tablespoons, chopped (optional, for garnish) Parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Separate the garlic cloves from the head and leave the skins on. Toss the garlic with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and spread them on a baking sheet.
Roast the garlic in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cloves are soft and lightly caramelized. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Once cooled, squeeze the roasted garlic out of the skins and set aside.
In a large pot, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until softened and translucent.
Add the roasted garlic, fresh thyme, and bay leaf to the pot. Stir and cook for about 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Let it cook for 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to deepen.
Remove and discard the bay leaf. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth and creamy. Alternatively, carefully transfer the soup to a blender in batches and blend until smooth.
Stir in the heavy cream, sea salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Let the soup simmer for another 5 minutes to heat through.
Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with chopped parsley if desired, and serve with slices of crusty bread for dipping.
