Ingredients:

- 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Cut off the top of the garlic head to expose the cloves. Drizzle with olive oil and wrap tightly in foil. Roast in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the cloves are soft and golden brown.
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, sauté the onion in the remaining olive oil over medium heat until translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add the chicken or vegetable broth and the cubed potatoes. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
- Remove the roasted garlic cloves from their skins and add them to the pot.
- Using an immersion blender or a regular blender (in batches if necessary), puree the soup until smooth and creamy.
