  • 1 cup heavy cream For a rich and creamy texture

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a medium-sized pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and minced garlic, sautéing them for about 5 minutes until they become soft and fragrant without browning.
  2. Pour in the 4 cups of vegetable broth and increase the heat to bring it to a simmer. Let it simmer for about 10 minutes.
  3. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a traditional blender.
  4. Return the blended soup to the pot and stir in 1 cup of heavy cream. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Heat over low heat for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Ladle the soup into bowls, sprinkle with fresh thyme or parsley, and serve warm.

Notes

For added flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of paprika or a touch of lemon juice. For a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream or dairy-free alternatives. Avoid over-roasting garlic to prevent bitterness.
