Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Peel and dice the medium waxy potatoes, halve the shallots, and trim the tops off the garlic heads.
  2. Arrange the potatoes, shallots, and garlic on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, then season with salt, pepper, thyme, and rosemary. Roast for 30 minutes, then cover with foil and continue to roast until tender, about another 15-25 minutes.
  3. Transfer the roasted vegetables to a large pot. Squeeze the soft garlic from its skins into the pot, then add broth and cream. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  4. Warm the blended soup over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper. Serve in bowls and garnish with olive oil, bacon or pancetta, cheddar cheese, and fresh herbs.
