2 Tablespoons olive oil
½ teaspoon dried thyme
1 medium clove of garlic (whole head)
2½ tablespoons butter
6 cups vegetable bouillon cube, broth
1 ½ Tablespoons flour
½ cup milk

Place the potatoes in large bowl.
Snip root end off each onion and cut each half into 3 sections. Add onions to potatoes, breaking up onions

heat. Transfer half the roasted
vegetables to food processor and add ½ cup hot broth. Process mixture until fairly smooth, then transfer to bowl. Repeat with remaining vegetables and a

minutes. Stir in ladleful of soup and

about 10 minutes. Serve right away, or
