View source for Roasted Garlic and Potato Soup


== Description ==
.
=== Ingredients ===
* 1 1/2 lbs [[potato]]es (about 4 medium-sized), peeled and cut into medium-sized chunks
* 8 large cloves [[garlic]], peeled
* 6 cups [[water]]
* 1 large [[Onion]], chopped
*
* 1 large [[carrot]], peeled and cut into large chunks
*
* 1/3 cup [[nutritional yeast]]
* 2 tsp [[salt]]
* 2 tsp dried [[rosemary]], rubbed between your nice clean fingers
* 4 bulbs of [[garlic]], roasted
* 1/2 lb (227 grams) of medium [[firm tofu]] (silken is best)
* Freshly ground [[black pepper]]
* Chopped [[chives]] or [[green onions]] for garnish
== Procedures ==
* Wrap the four bulbs of [[garlic]] in foil and roast at 400 degrees for approximately 40 minutes, or until squishy to the touch. Unwrap and allow them to cool a bit before slicing off the top 1/4” of the bulbs so that the tips of each clove are exposed. Squeeze these into a small bowl. It is messy and sticky and you will probably not get every last bit of roasted [[garlic]] out of the skins – that is ok. Using a sharp knife to scrape the roasted [[garlic]] off of the skins and your fingers is also ok.



While the [[garlic]] is roasting, place the [[potato]]es in a large saucepan or Dutch oven along with the [[garlic]], [[water]], [[Onion]], [[carrot]], [[nutritional yeast]], [[salt]], and [[rosemary]]. Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer until the [[potato]]es are very soft (about 20 to 30 minutes). Remove from heat, and strain, reserving the cooking broth. Place the roasted [[garlic]] and crumbled [[tofu]] into a food processor along with the cooked [[Potato]] mixture and some of the broth, and puree until smooth. (You will probably have to do this in increments, unless you have a HUGE-ass food processor.) Transfer this all back into the pot.
