Potato & Roasted Garlic Soup

Ingredients:

• ¼ cup butter
• 1 large yellow onion, diced
• 2 lbs yellow potatoes (about 5 medium potatoes), peeled and chopped
• 4 cups vegetable stock
• 1 whole bulb garlic, roasted and removed from skin
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Dry jack cheese to garnish

Instructions:

1. Melt the butter in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until tender and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the potatoes and stock. Bring to a boil. Then, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook about 20 minutes more, or until potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
2. Place a large strainer over a large bowl, and strain the soup. Transfer the liquids back into the Dutch oven. Transfer the potato and onion to a food processor or blender. Add the roasted garlic to the potato mix in the food processor. Puree until smooth.
3. Add the potato puree to the soup liquid in the Dutch oven. Add salt and pepper to taste. Simmer an additional 10 minutes. When ready to serve, ladle soup into individual serving bowls. Sprinkle with a fresh grating of Dry Jack cheese.
