Roasted Garlic & Potato Soup
Potatoes are so versatile. As Samwise Gamgee would say, you can “Boil ‘em, Mash ‘em, Stick ‘em in a stew.” Wise words Samwise, wise words indeed. I like to keep potatoes on hand in the house all the time. I usually end up making breakfast potatoes with them when they start to grow eyes. I had some left over the other day and decided to make a potato soup, why not? My DH loves soup and what could possibly go wrong?
Delicious Rating: Roasting the garlic takes a minute so you could always short cut it by using roasted garlic sold in a jar. I found this soup to be Okay, nothing more or less. It just didn’t do it for me. It was a bit starchy from the potatoes and the garlic was more of a background flavor although I used a full head. I don’t think I will make this soup recipe again, it just didn’t have that Delicious factor that I want out of my food. However, my DH did enjoy it and preferred it cold. You may also favor it so give this easy recipe a try and let me know what you think!
