Make this simple and flavorful Creamy Roasted Garlic Soup. It uses tender roasted garlic and fresh thyme, perfect for chilly nights. This recipe is easy to prepare and results in a satisfying, comforting homemade soup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 heads garlic
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the tops off the garlic heads. Drizzle the exposed cloves with olive oil and wrap the heads in foil.
  2. Roast the garlic for 35 to 40 minutes until the cloves are soft and golden brown. Let them cool slightly.
  3. While the garlic roasts, melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until soft, about 5 minutes.
  4. Squeeze the soft, roasted garlic pulp out of the skins into the pot with the onions. Stir to combine.
  5. Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  6. Carefully transfer the soup mixture to a blender, or use an immersion blender directly in the pot. Blend until completely smooth and velvety.
  7. Return the soup to the pot if necessary. Stir in the heavy cream. Heat gently, but do not boil.
  8. Season with salt and pepper to your taste.
  9. Serve this warm soup immediately, perhaps with crusty bread for dipping.

Notes

  • For an extra savory flavor, use chicken broth. For a vegetarian option, use vegetable broth.
  • If you want a thinner consistency, add more broth until you reach your desired texture.
  • This soup pairs well with crispy crostini or toasted sourdough bread.
