Ingredients

Scale

For the Soup:

  • 3 heads of garlic
  • 2 shallots
  • 4 large potatoes, cut into small chunks
  • 1 cup cauliflower
  • A few sprigs of thyme, minced
  • Generous drizzle of olive oil
  • 5 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

For the Croutons:

  • Loaf of bread (French or baguette works great), cut into cubes
  • 3–4 tablespoons chili crisp
  • Parmesan (for topping)
  • Chives (for topping)

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven:
    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Prepare the Vegetables:
    • Cut the top off the garlic bulbs to expose the cloves.
    • Cut the shallots in half.
    • Spread the potatoes, cauliflower, garlic, and shallots on a baking sheet.
    • Drizzle generously with olive oil, ensuring the garlic bulbs and shallots are well-coated.
  • Season and Roast:
    • Sprinkle the veggies with salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, and minced thyme.
    • Massage the oil and seasoning evenly over the vegetables.
    • Roast for 30-35 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
  • Blend the Soup:
    • Transfer the roasted vegetables to a large pot. Squeeze the softened garlic and shallots into the pot.
    • Add the chicken broth and bring to a low simmer.
    • Blend the mixture until smooth using an immersion blender or a regular blender (cool the veggies slightly if using a regular blender).
  • Finish the Soup:
    • Stir in the heavy cream and Italian seasoning.
    • Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
    • Reduce the heat to low and cover the pot while preparing the croutons.
  • Make the Croutons:
    • Toss the bread cubes with chili crisp on a sheet pan, ensuring even coating.
    • Broil for 4-5 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning, until golden and crispy.
  • Serve:
    • Ladle the soup into bowls.
    • Top with chili crisp croutons, freshly grated parmesan, and chopped chives.
    • Enjoy warm and creamy!

Notes

For a lighter version, you can substitute the heavy cream with coconut milk or a dairy-free cream alternative. Adjust the chili crisp quantity depending on how spicy you prefer the croutons.
