Ingredients
  

2 large heads of garlic

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 medium onion, chopped

2 cups potatoes, diced (preferably Yukon Gold)

4 cups vegetable broth

1 cup heavy cream (or coconut cream for a vegan version)

1 teaspoon thyme (fresh or dried)

Salt and pepper to taste

1 tablespoon lemon juice

Fresh chives or parsley for garnish

Instructions
 

Roasting the Garlic:

    - Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

      - Slice the tops off the garlic heads to expose the cloves, drizzle with olive oil, and wrap them in aluminum foil.

        - Roast in the oven for about 30-35 minutes until the cloves are soft and caramelized. Remove and let cool slightly.

          Sauté the Base:

            - In a large pot, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5-7 minutes.

              Add Potatoes and Broth:

                - Stir in the diced potatoes and thyme, cooking for another 2 minutes. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a gentle boil. Reduce heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.

                  Incorporate Roasted Garlic:

                    - Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of their skins directly into the pot. Use a spoon to stir them into the soup, breaking them apart as you go.

                      Blend the Soup:

                        - Using an immersion blender, carefully purée the soup until smooth. If you’re using a blender, let the mixture cool slightly before blending in batches.

                          Finish the Soup:

                            - Stir in the heavy cream and lemon juice, mixing well. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Heat the soup gently, making sure not to boil it.

                              Serve:

                                - Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped chives or parsley. Enjoy it warm alongside crusty bread for an added touch!
