Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Peel the garlic cloves and place them on a small piece of aluminum foil.
- Drizzle with a small amount of olive oil (about 1 tsp) and wrap the foil around the garlic.
- Roast in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the garlic is soft and fragrant. Set aside to cool.
- While the garlic is roasting, peel and chop the onion into small pieces.
- Peel and dice the potatoes into roughly 1-inch cubes.
- In a large pot, heat the remaining olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion and sauté until it becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add the diced potatoes and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Pour in the water and vegetable broth.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
- Add the roasted garlic to the pot.
- Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth. Alternatively, you can transfer the soup to a regular blender in batches and blend until smooth, then return it to the pot.
- Stir in the fresh thyme.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Stir in the light sour cream until fully incorporated.
- Allow the soup to warm through for a few more minutes on low heat.
Tips:
- Roast the garlic cloves until they are golden brown and fragrant, as this will enhance the flavor of your soup.
- Use a good quality olive oil to add richness and depth to the soup.
- Make sure to dice the onion and potatoes into uniform pieces to ensure even cooking.
- Blend the soup to your desired consistency – smooth for a creamier texture or leave some chunks for a heartier feel.
- Stir in the light sour cream at the end to add a tangy creaminess to the soup.
- Add salt and pepper to taste and garnish with a sprinkle of fresh thyme before serving to enhance the flavors.
