2 heads garlic1 medium onion2 medium potato1.5 l vegetable broth200 ml heavy cream (30% fat)30 g butter15 ml olive oil1 pinch ground nutmeg

Steps

Prepare the base

Peel the garlic and onion, then finely chop the onion. Peel and dice the potatoes into smaller cubes. In a large pot, melt the butter with the olive oil over medium heat.

Sauté and cook

Add the chopped onion to the pot and sauté until translucent, about 3-5 minutes. Then add the whole garlic cloves and sauté for another 2-3 minutes until fragrant, but do not let them brown. Add the diced potatoes and pour in the vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes and garlic are completely tender.

Blend and season

Remove the pot from the heat and use an immersion blender to purée the soup until completely smooth. Return to the heat, stir in the heavy cream, and mix well. Season with salt, freshly ground black pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg. Bring to a boil once more, then serve immediately.

Serve

When serving, sprinkle with fresh, finely chopped parsley and offer with crispy croutons.

Extra Tips

► For an even more intense garlic flavor, roast the garlic in the oven with a little olive oil before adding it to the soup.

► You can adjust the soup's thickness by varying the amount of potato and cream; if it's too thick, add more broth.

► Serve with fresh parsley or chives and crispy croutons for an extra touch.
