Ingredients

2 1/2 quarts stock (vegetable or chicken)

2 tablespoons fresh rosemary

1 tablespoon fresh oregano

1 cup chopped parsley

2 teaspoons fresh thyme

2 large heads (whole heads) garlic, cloves separated and peeled

1/2 cup dry white wine

6 tablespoons butter

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup heavy cream or half and half

2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives

salt and pepper to taste

grated Parmesan cheese (optional, garnish)

Directions

Place the stock and herbs (rosemary through thyme) into a 4-quart stock pot. Bring to a boil and cover. Reduce heat and simmer for 1 hour. Strain the stock to remove the herbs and return the stock to the pot.

In a small saucepan, place all but 2 of the peeled garlic cloves and just cover with water. Simmer, uncovered, for 15 minutes.

Puree the garlic and cooking water until smooth. Add to the stockpot with the white wine and bring to a simmer.

Melt the butter in a small pan and add the flour to make a roux.

Whisk the roux into the hot stock until smooth and the soup begins to thicken slightly. Crush the two reserved cloves of garlic into the pot and simmer for 5 minutes.

Add the cream, chives, and salt and pepper to taste. Serve with Parmesan as a garnish if you desire.
