ingredients :
50 garlic cloves or 5 bulbs, peeled
2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp olive oil
2 large onions, diced
1 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped
6 cups clear chicken broth
a bunch of fresh herbs (parsley, thyme, bay leaf) -*you can always use dried herbs instead of fresh
3 cups stale bread, diced
1 cup sour cream
Preparation
First, preheat your oven, and 180 degrees is just perfect. Cut off the top of each garlic bulb or just separate the cloves and spread them over a piece of aluminum foil. Drizzle over some olive oil and roast your garlic for hour and a half. When it is ready, take your garlic out of the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
In the meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil and some butter in a pot. Your recipe requires medium heat. Add in your onions and cook everything for 10 minutes. Once your garlic is beautifully roasted, mash it using a fork, and add it into the pot. Next add your herbs and chicken broth.
Reduce the heat to low, add the bread and cook for additional 5 minutes, or until the bread cubes become soft. Blend your soup until smooth, and you can use either a immersion blender or your regular blender. Return the creamy mixture to the heat, and add in some sour cream. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
