Creamy Garlic Soup with Parmesan

I would avoid this for people on blood thinner medications or if they are scheduled for any type of surgery. Otherwise, a lovely, immune, and heart-healthy dish.

  • 3 roasted garlic heads, (see above), cloves squeezed out
  • 2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) butter
  • 2 1/4 cups sliced onions
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons thyme
  • Paprika for garnish
  • 3 1/2 cups chicken stock or veggie broth
  • 1/2 cup ½ and ½
  • 1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese

Melt butter in a heavy large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onions and thyme and cook until onions are translucent about 6 minutes. Add roasted garlic, chicken stock; cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Working in batches, puree soup in blender until smooth. Return soup to saucepan; add ½ and ½ and bring to simmer. Season with salt and pepper. Top with Parmesan and a dash of paprika.
