This creamy roasted garlic soup recipe delivers deep, comforting flavor perfect for chilly nights. Roasting the garlic creates a velvety texture and rich taste that pairs wonderfully with crusty bread.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 heads garlic
  • 1/4 cup olive oil, divided
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: Fresh thyme or rosemary for garnish
  • Optional: Crusty bread or croutons for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the tops off the garlic heads to expose the cloves. Drizzle the exposed cloves with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, wrap the heads in foil, and roast for 35 to 40 minutes until the garlic is soft and golden brown. Let the garlic cool slightly.
  2. While the garlic roasts, melt the butter with the remaining olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  3. Squeeze the soft roasted garlic pulp from the skins into the pot with the onions. Stir to combine.
  4. Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  5. Carefully transfer the soup mixture to a blender (or use an immersion blender directly in the pot). Blend until the soup is completely smooth and velvety. Return the soup to the pot if necessary.
  6. Stir in the heavy cream. Heat the soup gently over low heat until warmed through. Do not boil after adding the cream.
  7. Season the soup generously with salt and pepper to your taste.
  8. Serve the warm savory soup immediately, garnished with fresh thyme or rosemary, and alongside crusty bread or croutons.

Notes

  • For an even deeper flavor, use high-quality chicken broth.
  • If you prefer a dairy-free version, substitute the heavy cream with full-fat coconut cream.
  • Roasting the garlic is key to achieving that signature sweet, non-sharp garlic taste.
