Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 whole heads garlic, peeled and trimmed
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 3 medium Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and diced
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme or 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Peel and trim 2 heads of garlic, chop 1 large onion, and peel and dice 3 medium Yukon Gold potatoes. Have your blender or immersion blender ready.
- Sauté Garlic and Onion: Heat a large pot over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Sauté the garlic and onion until they turn golden and become fragrant, about 5 minutes.
- Add Potatoes and Thyme: Add the diced potatoes and 1 teaspoon dried thyme (or 1 tablespoon fresh). Cook for an additional 2 minutes to combine flavors.
- Simmer Soup: Pour in 4 cups of vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and soft.
- Blend Soup: Remove the pot from heat and blend the soup until smooth using a blender or immersion blender, achieving a creamy texture.
- Finish Soup: Stir in 1/2 cup heavy cream, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Adjust seasoning as desired.
- Serve: Serve the soup hot, optionally garnished with croutons, extra cream, or fresh herbs for added flavor and presentation.
Notes
- For a more intense garlic flavor, roast the garlic heads before adding them to the pot.
- You can substitute heavy cream with coconut cream for a dairy-free version.
- Use an immersion blender directly in the pot for easier blending and less cleanup.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat gently on the stovetop to avoid curdling the cream.
