Ingredients

• 2 Whole garlic bulbs, roasted
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) olive oil
• 1 Large yellow onion, minced
• 4 Cups chicken broth
• 2 Pounds (lb) potatoes, peeled
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) dried rosemary
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) dried thyme
• 1 Cup heavy cream
• 8 Ounces (oz) smoked salmon, torn
• 0.5 Teaspoon (tsp) kosher salt
• 1 Pinch black pepper, to taste
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) green onions, minced

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the tops off the garlic bulbs, drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, wrap in foil, and roast for 30 minutes until soft.
2. In a large pot, heat the remaining olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced onion and sauté until translucent.
3. Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves into the pot, discarding the skins.
4. Add the chicken broth, potatoes, rosemary, and thyme. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes.
5. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. For a rustic texture, reserve some potato chunks before blending and add them back afterward.
6. Stir in the heavy cream and smoked salmon. Season with kosher salt and pepper.
7. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes to heat through.
8. Serve hot, garnished with minced green onions.
