Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Yukon Gold potatoes
- 2 medium Fennel bulbs
- 1 large Yellow onion
- 3 large Garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 5 cups Vegetable stock
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- Crusty bread (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Peel the Yukon Gold potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes. Remove the stalks and cores from the fennel bulbs and slice the bulbs into thick wedges.
On a large baking sheet, toss the cubed potatoes, fennel wedges, and whole garlic cloves with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Spread the vegetables in an even layer.
Roast in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, tossing halfway through, until the vegetables are tender and golden brown on the edges.
While the vegetables roast, dice the yellow onion. In a large soup pot or Dutch oven, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
Add the diced onion to the pot and sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly caramelized.
Once the roasted vegetables are done, add them to the pot with the caramelized onions.
Pour in the vegetable stock and add the thyme leaves. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Cover the pot and let it simmer for 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Using an immersion blender, puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, you can carefully transfer the mixture in batches to a countertop blender.
Stir in the heavy cream and adjust the seasoning with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, or to taste.
Ladle the soup into bowls and optionally serve with crusty bread for dipping.
