Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 30 whole cloves of garlic (about 3 heads), peeled
  • 3/4 cup dry sherry
  • 1/2 cup brandy
  • 5 Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and diced

  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon chopped chives

Directions

  4. Add the diced potatoes and chicken stock, and cook until the potatoes are tender.
  5. Transfer the soup to a large bowl and purée in batches in a blender, then return the soup to the pan.

  8. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
