Ingredients
  

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 medium onion, finely chopped

8 cloves garlic, minced

4 cups vegetable or chicken broth

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Salt and black pepper, to taste

1 cup heavy cream (or coconut cream for dairy-free)

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

1 large loaf of crusty bread (such as sourdough or baguette)

Instructions
 

Sauté the Onions: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until translucent and soft.

    Add the Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently to avoid burning. Your kitchen should be filled with a delicious aroma!

      Build the Base: Pour in the vegetable or chicken broth and add the dried thyme and red pepper flakes, if using. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

        Blend the Soup: Remove the pot from the heat. Using an immersion blender, puree the soup until smooth. If you don’t have an immersion blender, you can carefully transfer it in batches to a blender. Return the soup to the pot.

          Cream it Up: Stir in the heavy cream (or coconut cream for a dairy-free option) and heat gently on low until warmed through, about 5 minutes. Adjust seasoning as needed.

            Prepare the Bread: While the soup is warming, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the crusty bread in half or into thick slices. Place on a baking sheet and toast in the oven for about 5-7 minutes until crisp and golden.

              Serve: Ladle the warm garlic soup into bowls, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve with the crusty bread on the side. Enjoy your comforting and flavorful garlic soup!
