Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 10 whole Garlic cloves
- 1 medium Yellow onion
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 4 cups Chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Thyme
- 1 Bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (for garnish)
- 4 slices Rustic bread (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Peel the garlic cloves and roughly chop the yellow onion.
In a large pot, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat until the butter is melted.
Add the garlic cloves and onion to the pot. Sauté for 10 minutes, stirring frequently, until softened and fragrant (but not browned).
Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth, then add the thyme and bay leaf. Stir to combine.
Bring the soup to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 20 minutes.
Remove the bay leaf and use an immersion blender (or transfer the soup to a blender) to blend until smooth and creamy.
Stir in the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for 5 more minutes, stirring occasionally.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
Optional: Serve with slices of toasted rustic bread on the side for dipping.
