Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.

  2. Place 26 cloves of garlic in a small glass baking dish.

  3. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the garlic and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss to evenly coat.

  4. Cover the baking dish tightly with foil and bake for about 45 minutes, or until the garlic is golden brown and tender.

  5. Allow the garlic to cool, then squeeze the cloves between your fingertips to release them from their skins. Transfer the cloves to a small bowl.

  6. In a heavy large saucepan, melt the butter over medium-high heat.

  7. Add the onions and thyme, and cook until the onions are translucent, approximately 6 minutes.

  8. Add the roasted garlic and 18 raw garlic cloves, and cook for an additional 3 minutes.

  9. Pour in the chicken stock, cover the saucepan, and simmer until the garlic is very tender, about 20 minutes.

  10. In batches, blend the soup in a blender until smooth.

  11. Return the soup to the saucepan and stir in the cream. Heat the soup until it simmers.

  12. Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste.

  13. Divide the grated cheese among 4 bowls and ladle the soup over the cheese.

  14. Squeeze the juice of 1 lemon wedge into each bowl.

  15. Serve and enjoy!
