At a glance
You're making a smooth and wonderfully garlicky comfort soup that takes about 50 minutes from start to finish. The time-consuming part is slowly sautéing the onion and garlic for about 30 minutes until they turn golden—this is what gives the soup its incredible depth of flavor. Once you blend it all together with cream, you've got a cozy, warming bowl that's perfect for those days when you need some serious comfort.

Sauté the onion and garlic
Roughly chop the onion and garlic. In a large pot, melt the butter with the oil over medium-low heat. Add the onion and garlic to the pot and cook slowly. The mixture should turn slightly golden, not brown or burn. This will take about half an hour.

Add the stock and herbs
After that, pour in the stock and season with salt to taste. Add the fresh herbs too – don't chop them, just tie them together into a bundle so you can lift them out of the finished soup later. Finally, add the bay leaf and simmer for about 15 minutes.

Blend and stir in the cream
The garlic soup is now cooked. Remove the herb bundle and bay leaf, then blend the soup until smooth. Season with pepper to taste and stir in the cream to mellow the flavour. Serve immediately while hot, ideally topped with crunchy bread croutons.
