Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 small onion (diced)
- 4 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 large head roasted garlic
- 4 large potatoes (peeled and cubed)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the diced onion until softened, about 8 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute to release flavors.
- Add Broth: Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil to prepare for cooking the potatoes.
- Cook Potatoes and Season: Add the cubed potatoes, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper. Return to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are tender, approximately 15-20 minutes. Stir in the roasted garlic for added depth.
- Blend Soup: To thicken the soup, mash some of the potato pieces with a spoon or use an immersion blender until you reach your preferred consistency.
- Serve: Serve the soup hot, optionally garnished with toppings such as croutons or cheese for extra texture and flavor.
Notes
- Roasting the garlic ahead of time enhances the soup’s sweetness and mellow flavor.
- You can substitute vegetable broth with chicken broth if not seeking a vegetarian option.
- For a creamier soup, add a splash of cream or milk before serving.
- Adjust salt and pepper according to taste preferences.
- Use an immersion blender carefully to avoid over-blending; a chunky texture can be very enjoyable.
