Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Peel and dice three waxy potatoes into cubes, halve the shallots, and slice off the tops of the garlic heads to expose the cloves.
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, spread out the diced potatoes, shallots, and garlic. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, thyme, and rosemary. Roast in the oven for 30 minutes uncovered, then cover and roast for an additional 15 to 25 minutes until tender and caramelized.
  3. Transfer roasted vegetables to a large pot. Pour in about four cups of broth and one cup of heavy cream. Blend until smooth and creamy with an immersion blender.
  4. Warm the blended soup over medium heat until heated through. Ladle into bowls, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with bacon or cheese, and garnish with fresh herbs. Serve with fresh baguette.
