Ingredients
  

  • 3 heads garlic halved crosswise
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 large onion chopped
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Place halved garlic heads on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper.
  • Roast garlic in the oven for 30 minutes until soft and golden brown.

  • In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat and sauté the chopped onion until translucent.
  • Add the roasted garlic cloves to the pot and stir to combine.
  • Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a simmer.
  • Simmer for 15 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  • Remove from heat and use a blender to puree the soup until smooth.
  • Return the pot to low heat and stir in the heavy cream.
  • Season the soup with additional salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve warm, garnished with fresh parsley.

Notes

When roasting garlic, ensure it's well-coated in olive oil to prevent burning and to enhance its natural sweetness. For a richer flavor, consider adding a splash of white wine before simmering. Adjust the cream and seasoning to taste, and serve with crusty bread for a comforting meal.
