I watch the movie Jerry Maguire once a month. I dunno…
I seem to make soup every two weeks.
I chase my cat around the neighborhood about once a week.
I think about buying fancy shoes I don’t need at least two times a week.
Every few days I ride my bike… and eat salsa and tortillas… not simultaneously.
Every day, I send an obscene amount of text messages and emails. Millions. Too many. Lots.
Today I made soup, watched Jerry Maguire, sent about 8.4 million text messages, and thought about buying unnecessary shoes. What am I going to do for the rest of the month?
I don’t know, but it better involve Nutella and pretzels… and maybe string cheese.
I found these pretty pretty small potatoes at the grocery. Tossing them with rosemary, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Roasted potatoes stacked in the center of a velvety soup. Good idea.
This soup is just about equal parts garlic and onions. The onions are cooked to translucency. Some of the garlic is roasted, some is left raw. Roasted garlic becomes sweet and creamy. Raw garlic has that delightful garlic kick. This soup is creamy, velvety, and does not have a super overpowering garlic flavor. I think it’s balanced and super comforting. If you’re afraid of garlic… you might just be surprised by this soup.
Lemon and freshly grated Parmesan Cheese only compliment the soup. Brightness and salty cheese.
It’s pretty and comforting, easy and classy. Yes, classy. This soup feels like a comforting way to transition from winter to spring.
Ps… sorry about the bad breath. I really am.
Roasted Garlic Soup with Rosemary Roasted Potatoes
Makes 2 large, or 4 small servings
adapted from Bon Appetit, February 1999
For the Roasted Garlic:
26 garlic cloves (unpeeled)
2 tablespoons olive oil
salt and pepper
For the Potatoes:
2 Russet potatoes, cut into large bite-size chunks
or
12 small new or purple potatoes, or a mixture!
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
salt and pepper
For the Soup:
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 medium yellow onions, sliced into half rings
2 teaspoons fresh thyme, chopped
15 to 18 garlic cloves, peeled but kept mostly whole
4 cups chicken stock (vegetable stock will also work)
1/2 cup Greek yogurt, milk, or half and half, or heavy cream
salt and pepper to taste
lemon wedges, Parmesan cheese, and good olive oil for drizzling
Place a rack in the center and upper third of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Place 26 unpeeled garlic cloves in a small baking dish. Toss with olive oil, a few pinches of salt and black pepper. Cover dish with foil and set aside.
Dice potatoes into large bite-sized pieces and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Toss with olive oil, rosemary, salt and pepper.
Place the foil-covered garlic cloves and the rosemary potatoes in the oven. Bake both for 45 minutes. Remove the potatoes from the oven once or twice to toss around the pan to ensure even baking. After 40 to 45 minutes, a knife will easily pass through the roasted garlic and roasted potatoes. Remove both from the oven and allow to cool.
When cool enough to handle, remove the roasted garlic from their skins and combine with the raw garlic. Set aside.
Heat a olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and chopped thyme. Cook until onions are translucent and thyme is super fragrant, about 6 minutes. Add the two types of garlic and cook for 3 to 5 minutes. Add the chicken stock, reduce heat to low, cover and simmer the soup until raw garlic is soft and tender, about 20 minutes.
Remove soup from heat and blend, in two or three batches, in a blender until smooth. Return soup to the pot and add yogurt or cream. Stir until yogurt has dissolved; a whisk helps incorporate the thick yogurt into the soup. Add salt and pepper to taste.
To serve, stack roasted potatoes in the center of a shallow bowl. Pour soup around the potatoes. Drizzle with olive oil, a dash of fresh lemon juice and a generous shaving of Parmesan cheese.
Soup can be made one day in advance, and develops really well in the fridge. Soup lasts, in an airtight container, in the refrigerator, for up to 4 days.

Made this today! 5 years late, but that’s alright! Tastes devine :)

This soup is my new favorite thing in the whole freaking world!! Seriously, it’s been so cold out here, and I needed something to warm my bones and make my mouth and wallet happy at the same time. This soup is a winner. It’s easy, it makes the house smell incredible, the taste is out of control good (seriously, do not skimp on the lemon twist), and it’s very inexpensive to make. A+

This sounds lovely. Going to give this a go. thanks for sharing this recipe.

Oh my garlicy goodness, this looks fantastic!!!
Angela
This was so amazing. Choirs of angels sang.
Melissa
my husband will not eat onions–think this soup would still work without them? He LOVES garlic!
joythebaker
onions help balance out this soup, but i suppose you could try without.
Mansi Gupta
Wow!
Can’t get this out of my head…. Stuck in office, and all I can think of is making this soup and sipping it while under a blanket.
What can be better than garlicky soup on a cold winter evening….
Annie
okay, Joy the baker….right now you are mine and my sister’s ultimate fav! My sister introduced me to your blogs which I’m grateful for. She doesn’t cook a lot but instead forwards me your recipes so I can cook for the both of us. I tried your chicken pot pie with cream cheese and chive biscuits and now the roasted garlic soup with roasted rosemary potatoes. OMG, I think its a thousand dollar soup. Thats my nick name for it from now on. It was one of the most delicious soups I’ve ever tried. Thanks you so very much for existing and doing what you do.
joythebaker
i’m glad you’re here… cookin up a storm!
Jane
I don’t make soup. I don’t eat soup. I do speak in hyperboles, so yes I’ve made and eaten soup, but almost never voluntarily…
Both of those things will go right out of the window with this one. Garlic and potatoes are my weak spot! Cheese? Lemon? Gahhhh! Making this ASAP!
Merage
Friggen amazing… I made this, added some baby bella mushrooms (didn’t blend those–added them after the blendage) and it was something fabulous AND the hubs liked it. Thank you for good food. :)
Lauren
Wow. This is totally worth all the breath mints I’ll have to chew! All of my favorite things in a soup, awesome.
Raluca
Oh I so want to make this today! Just need to resist a couple of more days..of eating just fruit for dinner..
Emily
Oh, yes. I’m so making this today even though it will be 80 degrees in L.A. I’m doubling the batch and using veggie stock since my son is vegetarian. Can’t wait!
Rachel
Could you use an immersion blender instead of a regular blender? As much as I love my blender, it’s dated. But I do have a new fancy immersion blender handed down by an aunt and uncle who never used it!
joythebaker
i think an immersion blender would totally work! i just think my blender is faster… that’s why i do it that way. go for it! enjoy!
Emily
Just made this for dinner and it was ammmaaaazing! Totally made my Monday….along with having the day off, but I think it was more the soup :) Thanks for the inspiration.
Britt
You are a rockstar Joy. Seriously amazing stuff here. Doubled it cause I knew I’d love it & boy I do! I made rosemary bread to go along with it & my boyfriend requested I roast an extra couple *heads* yes… not cloves… to smear on the bread to dip into the soup. We love our garlic.
He ate the entire loaf of bread, 3 bowls of soup & 2 entirely separate heads of garlic. He had a tummy ache. I said I told you so. He said it was worth it.
Thanks for the awesome Sunday night! :) xo
joythebaker
holy cow! you two are serious!
Beth
This is by far the best soup I have ever had. I will be making it again in the next couple of weeks! So delicious!!!!
Alison
My house smells lovely ;) and the soup was so perfect. Except for one teensy thing – I couldn’t get the yogurt to fully incorporate. Any suggestions? I ended up with little white dots after some heavy whisking. But it didn’t make it any less delicious!
Courtney
We’re having a resurgence of winter here in the Midwest… so this soup will be Just The Thing to get us into April. Or perhaps I’ll make it IN April, since our grocery budget has already been… well, ignored, this month. Thanks for another great recipe!
B
Quick question… what is the brand/name of your antique floral china? Love it….
Beth
So I made this soup last night, and it was so so so so good! The only thing is that it took me forever! Granted, I was distracted by watching episodes of Glee so that may have added to the length of time it took. I also made a double recipe because I knew it was going to be really good, and I would be sad if it only lasted a day. Any suggestions on how to make to cooking and prep time shorter? I would probably make this soup all the time if it weren’t for that.
Sarah
I made this with my mom for a mother/daughter bonding day. It was absolutely amazing. Thanks for the great recipe
lidia
this looks absolutely amazing!
Natasha @ Saved by the Egg Timer
Simply divine, potatoes with rosemary are a favorite combo.
Valerie
This looks so good, I will definately give this a go – I LOVE garlic.
Plus I love your writing, very witty and cute!
Lisanne
That picture of the herbed potatoes looks like a delicious mess. Drool. And, yes, I totally think you can “herb” a potato. ;)
Mrs. B.
#1 I adore your witty banter.
#2 Your recipes are to die for.
#3 Apology accepted.
Can’t wait to make this soup. :)
Mindie
I saw these potatoes today at Trader Joe’s and I got so excited! Obviously, I bought some and am making this soup tomorrow night for dinner!
Erin
How would you suggest making the soup vegan? Silken tofu? soy milk? I love butter, but my sweetie is def. vegan. We have 8 heads of garlic in the fridge right now, so this would be perfect for tonight!
joythebaker
i bet a hunk of silken tofu would be delicious!
Amber
I love that little green dish that the garlic is in – super cute! Oh, the soup looks amazing too!!! I love garlic.
Allison
Glad to know I’m not the only Jerry Maguire lover out there. I’m even a fan of the soundtrack, so uh yeah… Anyways, I’m also a fan of this tasty looking garlic soup!
Anna
that picture of potatoes tossed with herbs is about the prettiest thing i’ve seen all day. (help me help you help me help you! classic.)
Alisa
This soup is on the stove (delicious). Yams, potatoes, onions and carrots are ready to roast. Chicken is in the oven. Dinner will be ready soon. Yum.
Merage
Sounds wonderful. I wonder what this would be like with sliced mushrooms added… AND… I just noticed there is a teeny tiny smiley face at the right bottom corner (like bottom where you can’t scroll down anymore) of your page. It’s cute.
CobyLyn
You are a genius :)
Sasha (Global Table Adventure)
I never worry about garlic breath- if it bothers someone, they simply need to eat more garlic, until they don’t notice my breath any more. :)
Kristen @ Chocolate Covered Kristen
Wow – this is like my dream soup. Can’t wait to try it out!
Natalia - a side of simple
Roasted garlic wins me over every.single.time.
Jean
I made the soup last night. Unbelievably yummy, I must say. Can’t wait to go home and slurp it all up.
Chihiro
Love the potatoes! I’ve never watched Jerry Maguire but can sympathize with the shoe problem.
Susan (Oliepants)
I have started to become a soup version and I still have your vegan mushroom soup bookmarked. This is definitely added to that list!
Vicki B
This has to be the most beautiful picture of potatoes ever! Brilliant recipe. A girl can never have too many shoes.
Andrea
Those potatoes are beautiful! I watch Sleepless in Seattle at least once a month :) I’ll have to try Jerry Maguire, I’ve never seen it!
joythebaker
try it… totally try it!
Steffani
I made this soup for dinner last night and it was off the chain good! I’m a garlic lover soyou had me at “hello”!
Ellie@fitforthesoul
haha I love soup too!! I’ll eat it about allllmost every other day :P are those purpose taters the same as purple yams? we eat those a lot in my household. Big Korean staple I guess haha. oh! and do you shoot in natural light? beautiful pics~~
Anzelle
I made this soup last week, and I’m making it again next week because it was just so damn delicious! The potatoes look delicious with it, though, so I might opt for serving potatoes with it instead of bread next time.
joythebaker
yes!
Larie
Love roasted garlic, this is gonna be amazing!
Julie
I’m not afraid of garlic, and I would just love this soup!!
Signe
Your soup is lovely, the pictures are bright and sooo artistic, the little purple mini spud almost looks like a calla lilly. By the way, bad garlic breath comes from bad garlic, not that sweet stuff you have pictured there, buy the shoes.Signe
Kat @ Cupcake Kat
You take the most stunning photos and tell the most funny stories. I think that’s why your blog is one of the ones I have been reading the longest! <3
Maggie @ A Bitchin' Kitchen
I loooove garlic. I got irrationally excited when I saw that this recipe contained such an insane amount of it. Looks delicious!
Katie@Cozydelicious
I’ve never thought to put roasted potatoes into soup. What a tasty combo! And such pretty potatoes, I just love the purple ones. I bet this soup is rich and sweet and yummy!
Kartik @ Bakeology 101
How do you make so many recipes so quickly? I’m really impressed. Are you sure that you don’t have super powers of some sort?
I love roasted garlic – so sweet and delicious!
Shirleen
Loving this soup recipe. We’re in autumn here and what feels like a very rapidly approaching winter. This is going to be a superb soup to make on a cold wet dark day. Mopped up with some nice crusty bread like a baguette me thinks! Ooo…also liking the green dish you have your onions in. Very much! :-)
Nicolle
Roasted garlic and potatoes?! You complete me.
Jen
I always think about making soup, and then don’t. But I love potatoes…and this sounds insanely garlicky…which is a GREAT thing in my book!
By the way, I talk about you in my latest post…which is dedicated to carrot cake cupcakes. YOUR carrot cake cupcakes, to be exact.
Dani
Joy,
I love you for all that you do on here, but the composition of your photos is frickin insanity!! I love them. Thanks for your inspiring creativity.
Steph
This is a fabulous and interesting way to share your recipe and thoughts.
Love it-I will be trying the soup.
Great photos too.
:) Thanks
Meagan @ Scarletta Bakes
You had me at Roasted Garlic Soup.
Show me the Rosemary Roasted Potatoes.
I feel for you, man. But a real man wouldn’t shoplift the Roasted Garlic Soup with Rosemary Roasted Potatoes from a single mom.
I’m sorry, but I just couldn’t help myself. I have wasted an entire lifetime watching and re-re-re-watching that movie. At least you have some sick soup and potatoes to show for it!
Thanks so much for the delicious recipe and post!!
Shelly Spratt
So I made this exact recipe about a year ago and it was TO DIE FOR!!! DELISH and would work great as a first course. That said, I would highly recommend it being a first course. My husband and I ate the entire soup for dinner and boy, we did not sleep at all that night. Let’s just say we were kept up by musical noises. Just keeping it real folks!
Jennifer (The Gourmetour)
That looks fantastic! It is a dark and rainy day here in Chicago, so that would be perfect to eat right now.
delaney @ heartbreakpie
beautiful pictures! soup sounds perfect for the flu I’m currently battling. Actually, so does Jerry Maguire…
CookiePie
Lovely lovely lovely!!!!
I can’t flip over to that movie if it’s on because then I have to watch the whole thing. Again.
The Teenage Taste
That soup looks amazing! Garlic is such a great spice…maybe one of my favorites…I put it on anything. Clearly, I don’t care what my breath smells like. Haha.
Nutella and pretzels are amazing together. Period.
Stephanie Lang
Woah, I literally just watched Jerry Maguire for my first time ever (I know, I know) on Sunday. Crazy. I love the photos of those gorgeous colorful potatoes.
Joy, I’m in LA visiting for just a few days, I need places to go, places to eat…help.
Samantha Angela @ Bikini Birthday
That soup looks amazing with the purple potatoes :D
Gen
Your soup is really pretty, you got some nice vegetables in it!
Zo @ Two Spoons
Mmm, both raw and roasted garlic! Love it.
Sarah-Anne
oh, yum!! get in my belly.
Hilary
Good idea indeed. You would have had me at roasted garlic soup, but then you go adding roasted potatoes? I’m there!
robert
Oh Joy, you inspire me so…! I’m going to make this every third Tuesday, and maybe get a kitten.
Sabina Sophia
Garlic is one of the best things on earth, and it smells so good ! Yes, I’m not ashamed to say I adore the smell of garlic on my fingers … we all have our weirdo sides !
I can’t wait to make this, even though I’ll have to make it in a friend’s kitchen who has a blender (lucky man).
Thanks you ! And the picture of the potatoes basking in oil and deliciousness is perfect :)
Chez Us
There is a traditional Basque Garlic soup that my family use to make; I hated it as a kid. Since, I have remade the recipe, and love it. It is perfect when you are sick.
I like how you added the gorgeous little potatoes (which I have seen at Whole Foods). I will have to give it a spin. Thanks for a warm, and comforting recipe. :)
cindy
i’ve never seen Jerry Maguire…confessed. for reals.
roasted potatoes stacked in soup…sheer genius Joy!
joythebaker
come to my house.
Mei
Jerry Maguire and Roasted Garlic soup, somehow an odd but perfect combination!
Philip Geneman
great soup recipe Thanks joy!
Hannah Jacklyn
Looks so delicious, and I love the addition of the potatoes. I made a similar soup on Christmas this year (no potatoes though, too bad) which was a huge hit with the family and friends who ate it. http://adventuresinweekdaycooking.blogspot.com/2010/12/roasted-garlic-soup-again.html
foodies at home
I could seriously live on roasted garlic…although I probably wouldn’t have any friends and my entire neighborhood would stay a good 50 ft away from me at all times…oh well… :)
Kelly @ Laughter, Strength and Food
I love any kind of roasted potatoes! Yum!
Dorothy
So. Totally. Making. This. Soup. Today!!!!! Thanks for the recipe YUM!
VADEPAN
amazing recipe!!!!Your food is so cool!!!!
Nicky G
Your writing is often so perfect and surprising that even if I didn’t like the food (and I do I do)I’d be filled up a little. Thanks
sheila @ Elements
Oooooh, I’ve been waiting for you to post this recipe since you mentioned roasted garlic soup in a previous post. It looks so good, Joy, and I’m hardly waiting to make it! Bet it would be good cold too. :)
I’ve never seen Jerry Maguire. Hmmm…I’ll have to see what that film is all about. :)
Stephanie
Yeah, I gotta just say it… you had me at Nutella and pretzels. I was totally into that amazing looking soup and rosemary potatoes, and you had to go and bring up Nutella and pretzels. Instant fixation. Soup? what soup?
Katie @ Nourishing Flourishing
I still haven’t seen Jerry McGuire….what can I say? Tom Cruise freaks me out. On an unrelated note, the soup looks divine ;)
laura @ a little barefoot
I just bought a bunch of beautiful little potatoes, too! I love this idea.
Also, I love nutella & pretzels. Yum.
EatLiveRun
beautiful photos, joy! love.
Jenn Post
btw, thank you so m uch for having a “Print this recipe” button with the recipe!! It is soooo annoying to find a blog with a recipe you want to try and then have to cut and paste it into word or print the whole screen, using up valuable ink in the process. (and I have so very many of YOUR recipes printed!)
sorry, kinda weird/random comment, but just wanted to let you know the little things you do are appreciated too!
JP
Jenn Post
I have a sign in my kitchen that I hand painted and it reads “Hope you like Garlic…” Random? YES, but applicable as we are a GARLIC family! we eat it in nearly everything at most meals, on the out side of grilled cheese, in soups, all pasta/noodle dishes. I even rubbed a clove on my toast this morning right before I slathered it with avocado. As I love soup only second to garlic, I can not WAIT to make this, already planning a trip to the farmers market to buy several cloves of garlic and the lovely bunch of different colored baby potatoes! thanks hun!
joythebaker
i like this very much.
Tricia @ Saving room for dessert
Jerry Maguire has some of the best quotable lines and I won’t bore you with my favorites. Love it. And roasted garlic is the best. Even smeared on fresh bread, it can’t be beat. Lovely soup!
Anne @ Baking Me
I love your soup recipes! I’ve made your cream of mushroom soup twice. Once with half and half (even though I already had the tofu, but I just felt like creamy soup) and then again with the tofu. Both ways were delicious! Can’t wait to try this one!
Seanna Lea
Gosh, this looks delicious! I want to have some now and it isn’t even lunch time yet! I have shallots at home, so maybe I will make this for later in the week with some caramelized shallots along with the onions. Or maybe I will make it as soon as I get home, though I need more potatoes. I always need more potatoes.
Rachel
this looks delish! and jerry maguire is a great movie, i might have to put that in my rotation between harry potter and love actually
Sense of Home
LOVE soup! I don’t care what time of year it is. Later today I am making a Chicken Curry Soup. Roasted Garlic Soup both looks and sounds delicious.
-Brenda
Colleen
I know you say not to fear the garlic, but… I fear the garlic. This soup looks so good, but I’m not sure it’s something that would go over well? I guess the only way to find out is to try! Those potatoes look awfully tempting, though…
Ziu
So glad you posted another soup recipe!!!
I ADORE roasted garlic (especially with oozing baked camembert on a toasted baguette) so will be making this one in no time at all!
Thank you gorgeous soup maker! ;-)
Giovanna burroealici
garlic and baked potato? Very italian! How can I resist at the garlic soup? I am the same Giovanna who wrote “hello, I am Giovanna and I am a garlicholic” as a comment at your roasted garlic. Something to say more?
Bianca @ Confessions of a Chocoholic
This sounds fantastic. I love roasted garlic and rosemary potatoes but never had it in soup form. I think I make soup every two weeks two. And definitely think about buying fancy shoes, like all the time.
Jen @ the baked life
anything with roasted garlic in it has me sold.
Nicole
I can’t stand Reneé Zellweger! But I will make this soup!
joythebaker
deal.
Nicole
You had me at garlic…oh, yeah, and Nutella.
Your blog makes me smile – so glad I found it! : )
Kendra
How did I not know that Roasted Garlic Soup with Rosemary Potatoes was an option in life? You’ve made my day complete!
PS – Made your S’more Icebox Candy Bars last night and now I’m everyone’s favorite co-worker.
Thanks Joy!
DessertForTwo
I would love to make this! Except, everytime I roast garlic, I end up eating it right out of the skin instead of cooking with it. It’s a very attractive quality, I realize. Sucking garlic cloves out of skins hot from the oven + garlic breath = I’m a catch for sure!
Love the idea of roasted potatoes on soup to make it a little more hearty. Thanks for sharing!
Justeen @ Blissful Baking
Yum, I absolutely LOVE garlic! This soup is totally for me. And guess what? I have a HUGE bag of unpeeled garlic in the kitchen, yayyy! :)
jenna laughs
That picture of the potatoes covered in oil and fresh rosemary was too much for me. I need this in my life.
Michelle
Soup looks classic. Roasted potatoes – comforting. Great change from chunky soup, although most of your soup recipes seem to be creamy. I will add this to the to – make list. Right after I get sick of sweet potato fries…. which is likely NEVER.
Laura @ SweetSavoryPlanet
So what’s little bad breath – garlic is sooo good for you. This recipe looks delicious!
Julie @ Willow Bird Baking
Oh, goodness, I need some comforting soup right now. Yum.
katiecoops
The soup and potatoes look absolutely delicious and the potatoes are beautiful, but what I really wanted to say was I finished my Nutella yesterday by scooping out spoonfuls and eating it with pretzels. Pretzels + Nutella = YUM. I’m trying to think of something I can bake using those flavors.
sweet road
oooh yum, beautiful colors too! I just made rosemary potato fries last night… I’ve been on a potato spree lately so I’ll have to try these out.
Nicole @ The Dirty Oven
I love this post and love that beauty of a potato picture. Worthy of framing in anyones kitchen. Just lovely….just like you!
Brittany
this looks divine & comfy! I just tried your yummy spicy jalapeno scones – hmmmm yum! I had to make them twice, in the last 5 days cus it was hubby’s request, “Can you make those yummy scones again?” ;-)
I also dream of buying fancy shoes at least 2 times a week! well maybe not super fancy cus I can’t afford no $900 dollar Dior (awwwww if only) but if only I could buy 1 new pair a week! This is my newest crush as of late: http://www.modcloth.com/Womens/Shoes/Heels/-Spring-in-your-Step-Heel
tootles!

Nothing compares to fresh homemade soup… puts campbells to shame. And I’m with Anita, Jerry Maguire? I have a weird obsession with Catch Me if You Can…. Leo does it everytime.
Just Jano
So what would you use if you were going to make this dairy free? Would coconut milk work? Soy or Rice?
Mika
I don’t care if I can kill people with my breath, I love garlic…I usually eat 6 to 8 garlic cloves per day…In this way only people who really love me talk to me…It’s a great way to find who is your friend and who is not ^_^
Valeria
Hi! Finally, I decided commenting :) Nice to meet you!
I watch Forrest Gump every month and I don’t know why. I think about buying clothes and shoes tonnes of times a week. And about food all the time :)) Thank you for being sorry for the bad breathe, because you know I’ll can’t help but trying this soup :) I’ll make it for everybody so no one is going to kill the other :P
Carrue
minor typo…….i was looking all over the recipe for the SPICED onions…….till i realized it was SLICED onions :) this looks amazing. i have made your ginger lentil soup several times already…..everyone loves it. i have now stocked up on organic french lentils……last night a big container of it fell right out of my frig and went splat…..we all cried……going to make this one tonight….or as soon as i find purple potatoes!!! purple food was on dr oz yesterday! how timely!
joythebaker
all fixed! thank you!!
Tina
I love your blog, and this looks delicious!
A question: Are purple potatoes similar in flavour/texture to white potatoes? Are they a waxy texture or fluffy?
Aikko
your soup looks absolutely divine!!! :)
Heather (Heather's Dish)
i’ve been wanting to try garlic soup for a long time now…this looks amazing!
Lydia Sidaros
LOVE roasted garlic AND onions. good thing muh hubs does too… DEFINITELY making this soup! I agree with Holly B… would love to read ur blogs everyday! :-)
Sarah
You have no idea how excited I am in the morning when I check my daily reads and see you’ve posted a new recipe. Just makes my day! This looks absolutely fantastic. Can’t wait to give it a try :)
P.S. Those potatoes are GORGEOUS. ::jealous::
Katrina
This looks lovely! Great recipe :)
Happy When Not Hungry
This soup looks delicious! I love roasted potatoes with rosemary. This looks like such a light and tasty soup for spring too.
Holly B @ Recipes from a Normal Mum
I read your posts maybe once or twice a week but I would like to read them every day.
You cheer my world. :-)
Lauren at Keep It Sweet
I love those little potatoes! That is a major amount of garlic for one pot of soup!
Mel
Mmmmm. And funny! But the potatoes look stupendous.
Averie (LoveVeggiesAndYoga)
Ok this may be considered crazy, but I hate garlic and onions. I am actually allergic and get really bad reactions from them. So no go on the soup. But..i LOVE the purple potatoes. And that you admit to sending a ridic amt of texts and emails. I send so many i think it’s a cybercrime :)
Ruth
You had me at garlic and rosemary! When am I gonna cook this? Hmmm…..
Caroleena
Ooooh, yummy! This looks like it’ll top my garlic/baked potato soup. And… Jerry Maguire once a month? I thought I had issues ‘cuz I watch Ferris Beuller’s Day Off just about as often as that — AND still laugh at it. Oy! Thanks for the lovely posts – love your blog!
Mar
Wow, I adore soups, this may be my fovourite one! Garlic, onion, potatos, and cheese…couldn’t be easier, warmer and tastier:) Love it!
Steve Dringus
This soup shoplifts the pootie!

How unique! I am definitely going to give this a try–perfect for Lenten Friday meal!

I love Jerry Maguire! it gives me a good cry…always..
Fantastic soup! I wish we have violet potatoes here!
Anita
Oh, since I’m nearly at the top of the comments, thought I’d pop back and tell you how much I love your blog – it’s my most favourite food blog ever! I made your Big Berry Birthday Cake for my Dad’s 60th last year and it went down a storm – my boyf actually sulked that the cake I made for his birthday didn’t compare!
joythebaker
i like this! thanks for the comment (both of them)!
Anita
Soup looks really delicious Joy – and your dish is so pretty, as always!
Jerry Maguire though? Once a month? I can’t stand Jerry Maguire – Renee is too desperate for me!
Hannah
Ugh I want soup right now. And garlic is always good.. unless other people are around. Dam them.
