Ingredients for Roasted Garlic Soup
Shallots: Shallots add a mild, delicate onion flavor. You can use yellow onion or leeks instead.
Herbs: Customize your herb blend. Basil, rosemary, or parsley all work. If you’re using fresh herbs, 1 tablespoon of fresh = 1 teaspoon of dried.

How to Make Creamy Roasted Garlic Soup
All the rich, velvety flavor of roasted garlic soup comes together in no time. This version is creamy, comforting, and easy enough to make any night of the week.
Roast Garlic: Preheat oven to 400ºF. Cut the tops off 4 heads of garlic and place them on a sheet of foil. Drizzle olive oil over the garlic and wrap tightly in foil, and place on a baking sheet. Bake for 45 minutes or until the garlic is golden brown and soft.
Sauté Shallots: Melt butter in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add diced shallots and cook until the shallots begin to soften.
Simmer: Add salt, black pepper, dried thyme, dried oregano, chicken broth, and yellow potatoes. Simmer until the potatoes are soft, about 20 minutes.
Add Roasted Garlic: Squeeze the roasted garlic out of its skin, then add it to the pot.
Puree Soup: Blend the soup in a blender or with an immersion blender until it is smooth.
Serve: Stir in heavy cream and parmesan. Adjust the seasonings if needed, and serve the soup with croutons, parmesan, and fresh parsley, if desired.
