This creamy and comforting Roasted Garlic Potato Soup is packed with flavor from roasted garlic and hearty potatoes. It’s a simple and satisfying meal perfect for a chilly day.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 heads of garlic
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1 cup milk (or cream for extra richness)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional garnishes: chopped chives, sour cream, crispy bacon

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Cut the tops off the garlic heads, exposing the cloves. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil each, wrap in foil, and roast for 45-60 minutes, or until cloves are soft and golden.
  3. Let garlic cool slightly, then squeeze the roasted garlic cloves into a small bowl.
  4. In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  5. Add the roasted garlic, vegetable broth, and cubed potatoes to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
  6. Carefully transfer the soup to a blender (or use an immersion blender) and blend until smooth.
  7. Return the soup to the pot. Stir in the milk (or cream) and heat through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Serve hot, garnished with chopped chives, sour cream, or crispy bacon, if desired.

Notes

For a richer flavor, use cream instead of milk. You can also add a pinch of nutmeg for a warm, comforting touch.
