Ingredients
  

For the Soup

  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil Extra virgin variety is best for flavor.
  • 4 cups Chicken or Vegetable Broth Substitution: Use homemade broth for best results.
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream Substitution: Coconut milk or nut-based cream can be used for a dairy-free version.

  • Immersion blender

Method
 

Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare a parchment-lined baking sheet. Chop the waxy potatoes and shallots into even pieces, and place them on the baking sheet alongside whole garlic heads. Drizzle with olive oil, then season with salt, pepper, thyme, and rosemary.
  2. Roast the vegetables uncovered in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Check for doneness, looking for golden color on the garlic and tender potatoes. After 30 minutes, cover the baking sheet with foil and roast for an additional 15-25 minutes.
  3. Transfer the roasted vegetables into a large pot. Squeeze the soft garlic cloves directly into the pot. Add chicken or vegetable broth and the cream.
  4. Using an immersion blender, puree the mixture until silky smooth. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as desired.
  5. Keep the blended soup warm on low heat until ready to serve. Ladle into bowls, optionally garnishing with fresh herbs or a drizzle of olive oil.
