Ingredients:

• 2 medium potatoes
• 1 brown onion
• 1 large leek
• 2 whole small heads of garlic
• 7 cups of chicken stock
• 1/2 tsp dried thyme leaves
• 1/2 cup cream
• 1/2 cup olive oil
• 1 cup chopped parsley
• 6 slices of rustic bread for croutons
• salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

Step 1

Roughly chopped your brown onion and leek, then set aside. Next, put your soup pot on the stove over medium heat and add 1/2 cup of olive oil. Add the chopped onion and the chopped leek. While that’s cooking, go ahead and peel your garlic cloves and roughly chopped them. Add them to the pot, then add 1/2 tsp of dried thyme leaves. Turn the heat to low and cook gently for 15 minutes without browning. While that’s cooking, prepare the potatoes by peeling and dicing them. Add them to the pot, then add 7 cups of chicken stock. Season with salt and pepper. Mix well and simmer gently for 25 minutes.
