Description
A cozy and indulgent garlic soup that roasts garlic to mellow its flavor, blending it with potatoes and cream for a warm hug in a bowl.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 head of garlic
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 2 large potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh herbs for garnish (such as thyme or parsley)
Instructions
