Ingredients

2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 small onion, finely diced
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp salt, divided
4 cups vegetable broth
4 large potatoes, peeled and chunked
1 whole head of roasted garlic
1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper

How to Make It

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook for about 8 minutes until soft.
Stir in minced garlic and 1/2 tsp salt; cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a boil.
Add potatoes, roasted garlic cloves, parsley, remaining 1/2 tsp salt, and pepper.
Bring back to a boil, then lower heat and simmer for 20–25 minutes until potatoes are fork-tender.
For a thicker soup, remove 1 cup of cooked potatoes, mash with a fork, and stir back in. Or partially blend with an immersion blender.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Serve hot, garnished with croutons, vegan cheese, or extra parsley.

Soup Tips for Maximum Creaminess

Don’t skip the roasted garlic—it adds that deep, sweet flavor that raw garlic just can’t match.
If you’re in a rush, microwave your garlic head for a quicker “roast.”
Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes work beautifully for this creamy soup.
Want even more body? Add a splash of unsweetened almond milk or coconut milk.

My Cosy Soup Story

This recipe came about on one of those grey, drizzly Sundays when my pantry was down to the basics. With a leftover head of roasted garlic and some humble potatoes, I whipped this up out of necessity—and it quickly became a favorite. My family now calls it “hug-in-a-bowl” soup. It’s requested often and always disappears fast.

What to Serve with Roasted Garlic Potato Soup

Crusty bread or a warm sourdough roll makes this soup a complete meal. Pair it with a light arugula salad for freshness, or go classic with a grilled (vegan) cheese on the side. A sprinkle of smoky paprika or nutritional yeast on top can add a little extra flair.

How to Store Leftovers

Let the soup cool completely before transferring to an airtight container. It keeps well in the fridge for up to 4 days. You can also freeze it for up to 3 months. To reheat, thaw overnight and warm on the stove, stirring gently. Add a splash of broth or plant milk if it thickens too much.

FAQs

Can I use roasted garlic from a jar?

Yes! While fresh is best, jarred roasted garlic works in a pinch.

Can I make this in a slow cooker?

Sure thing. Sauté the onions and garlic first, then add all ingredients to your slow cooker. Cook on low for 6 hours.

How can I make this even creamier?

Blend a larger portion of the soup or add unsweetened plant milk for a silkier finish.
