Preparation: 15 minutes, plus cooking time

Makes eight cups (1.9 L) (8 servings)

1ounce (28 g) peeled garlic cloves (8 - 12 cloves)

2teaspoons (10 ml) extra virgin olive oil

1/2

tablespoon (7 ml) unsalted butter

1

medium onion (5 oz/142 g), peeled, cut in 1/2” (1.25 cm) pieces

1

carrot (2 ounces/57 g), peeled, cut in 1/2” (1.25 cm) pieces

1rib celery (2 ounces/57 g), peeled, cut in 1/2” (1.25 cm) pieces

3-1/2 cups (875 ml) fat free, low-sodium chicken or vegetable stock

2cups (500 ml) water

2pounds (1 kg) Yukon gold potatoes*, peeled, cut in 1/2” (1.25 cm) slices

1 teaspoon (5 ml) herbs de Provence

1/2 cup (125 ml) evaporated fat free milk or half-and-half

1 teaspoon (5 ml) kosher salt

1/2 teaspoon (2 ml) ground white pepper

Preheat oven to 375°F (191˚C). Place cloves of garlic in the centre of a 12”

(30 cm) square of foil, drizzle with 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of the olive oil and toss to coat. Wrap the foil around the garlic and fold or crimp to seal. Roast until garlic is tender, about 1 hour. Cool slightly before using. (Garlic may be done ahead, and will keep in a resealable container for 5 days in the refrigerator.)

While the garlic is roasting, heat remaining olive oil with butter in a 3-3/4 quart ( 3.5 L) Cuisinart® Saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion, carrot, and celery. Reduce heat to low, cover loosely and cook until vegetables are tender but not browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in the stock, water, potatoes, herbs de Provence, and roasted garlic. Raise heat and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium low and simmer, loosely covered, until potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes. Turn off heat and let sit for 2 to 3 minutes.

Insert the Cuisinart® Quick Prep® Hand Blender and process on Lo speed for 20 to 30 seconds, then process on Hi speed using a gentle up an down motion moving the blender slowly throughout the saucepan, until well com- bined, smooth, and no visible pieces of vegetables remain, about

1 to 1-1/2 minutes. Add half-and half, salt and pepper. Insert the Quick Prep® Hand Blender and process on Hi for an additional 30 to 40 seconds. Serve hot. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
