Ingredients

• 20 whole Garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 medium, diced Yellow onion
• 4 cups Vegetable broth
• 2 medium, peeled and diced Russet potatoes
• 1 whole Bay leaf
• 1 teaspoon, dried Thyme
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 cup Coconut cream
• 2 tablespoons, chopped for garnish Fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon, freshly squeezed Lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Begin by peeling 20 garlic cloves. You can do this quickly by crushing them slightly under the flat side of a knife to remove the peel.

Step 2

In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the peeled garlic cloves to the pot and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until they become fragrant and just begin to turn golden.

Step 4

Add the diced yellow onion to the pot and continue to sauté for another 5 minutes, until the onion becomes translucent.

Step 5

Pour in 4 cups of vegetable broth, and add the diced russet potatoes, 1 bay leaf, 1 teaspoon of dried thyme, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper.

Step 6

Increase the heat to high and bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

Step 7

Once the potatoes are tender, remove the bay leaf and carefully transfer the soup to a blender. Blend until smooth and creamy. You may need to do this in batches depending on the size of your blender.

Step 8

Return the blended soup to the pot and stir in 0.25 cup of coconut cream to provide a silky texture.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, with additional salt and pepper.

Step 10

Finish the soup with 1 tablespoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice to brighten the flavors.

Step 11

Serve hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley.
