Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 20 whole Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium, diced Yellow onion
- 4 cups Vegetable broth
- 2 medium, peeled and diced Russet potatoes
- 1 whole Bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon, dried Thyme
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Coconut cream
- 2 tablespoons, chopped for garnish Fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon, freshly squeezed Lemon juice
Instructions
Begin by peeling 20 garlic cloves. You can do this quickly by crushing them slightly under the flat side of a knife to remove the peel.
In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.
Add the peeled garlic cloves to the pot and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until they become fragrant and just begin to turn golden.
Add the diced yellow onion to the pot and continue to sauté for another 5 minutes, until the onion becomes translucent.
Pour in 4 cups of vegetable broth, and add the diced russet potatoes, 1 bay leaf, 1 teaspoon of dried thyme, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper.
Increase the heat to high and bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
Once the potatoes are tender, remove the bay leaf and carefully transfer the soup to a blender. Blend until smooth and creamy. You may need to do this in batches depending on the size of your blender.
Return the blended soup to the pot and stir in 0.25 cup of coconut cream to provide a silky texture.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, with additional salt and pepper.
Finish the soup with 1 tablespoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice to brighten the flavors.
Serve hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley.
