Ingredients

• 1 whole head garlic, cloves peeled (approx. 8-10 cloves)
• 1 medium onion (approx. 150 g), peeled and quartered
• 20 g olive oil
• 1 medium potato (approx. 200 g), peeled and diced
• 800 g vegetable stock
• 100 g cooking cream (or milk for a lighter version)
• ½ tsp salt, or to taste
• ¼ tsp black pepper, or to taste
• Fresh parsley or chives, chopped, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1. Add peeled garlic cloves and quartered onion to the mixing bowl. Chop 3 sec / Speed 5. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
2. Add 20 g olive oil. Sauté 5 min / 120°C / Speed 1. Remove the measuring cup and place the simmering basket on the lid to allow for evaporation.
3. Add 200 g diced potato and 800 g vegetable stock to the mixing bowl. Cook 20 min / 100°C / Speed 1. Place the simmering basket on the lid instead of the measuring cup.
4. Pause the machine after 10 minutes, scrape down the sides and bottom of the mixing bowl with the spatula, and check the consistency. Continue cooking.
5. Carefully remove the simmering basket. Blend the soup 1 min / Speed 5-9, gradually increasing the speed, until smooth and creamy.
6. Add 100 g cooking cream, ½ tsp salt, and ¼ tsp black pepper. Heat 3 min / 90°C / Speed 2 (Reverse). Place the simmering basket on the lid.
7. To ensure even distribution and prevent sticking, finish by stirring 1 min / 90°C / Speed 1 (Reverse).
8. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley or chives, if desired.
