Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Cut the top(s) off of your head(s) of garlic and separate out 25 cloves, making sure each clove has an end chopped off (this will help with squeezing out the roasted garlic later on).
- Place the 25 cloves in a small glass baking dish, pour the 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the top, and sprinkle with a little salt and pepper. Toss to coat. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for about 45 minutes, until cloves are light golden brown and very tender. Remove from oven and cool.
- Squeeze the roasted garlic between your fingertips to release the garlic and discard the peel. Set roasted garlic aside.
- In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onions and thyme; cook until onions are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add both the roasted garlic and the 15 peeled raw garlic cloves and cook, stirring, for about 3 minutes.
- Add vegetable stock and, continuing over medium heat, bring the soup just to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, for about 20 minutes, or until garlic is very tender. Remove from heat and cool slightly.
- Using an immersion blender or working in batches with a blender, puree soup until smooth.
- Return soup to pan and stir in heavy whipping cream. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Sprinkle Parmesan cheese into each bowl and ladle the soup over the top. Squeeze one lemon wedge over each bowl and sprinkle with additional Parmesan if desired. Serve.

GARLIC SOUP
This garlic soup, which is based on a Provençal recipe, requires a minimal number of the staples that I always have on hand. It calls for garlic; eggs; some sort of pasta; a green vegetable that can be as simple as the limp bunch of broccoli in my crisper or, as I use in this recipe, frozen peas; and Parmesan or Gruyère for the garnish.

Steps:
- Bring 6 1/2 cups water to a boil in a 3- or 4-quart saucepan. Add minced garlic, salt, bay leaf and thyme. Cover and simmer 15 minutes. Taste and adjust salt. Remove bay leaf, and fresh thyme sprigs, if using. (Dried thyme will be difficult to remove.)
- Add pasta to pot. Stir, cover and simmer until al dente, about 5 to 10 minutes, depending on pasta type. Stir from time to time so that pasta doesn't stick to the bottom of the pot. Add peas and simmer 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, rub toasted bread slices with cut garlic clove and place 2 pieces in each bowl.
- Beat together eggs and olive oil. Temper the egg: Spoon 2 ladlefuls of the hot soup into eggs and stir together.
- Turn off heat under soup and slowly stir in tempered egg mixture. Add pepper and parsley. Ladle soup into bowls over bread, sprinkle cheese over the top and serve.

Tips:
- Use fresh garlic: Fresh garlic cloves have a more intense flavor and aroma than pre-chopped or jarred garlic. If you don't have fresh garlic, you can use 1 teaspoon of garlic powder for every clove of garlic called for in the recipe.
- Roast the garlic: Roasting the garlic mellows the flavor and makes it sweeter. You can roast garlic in the oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for about 20 minutes, or until the cloves are soft and browned.
- Use a variety of vegetables: This soup is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. Try adding diced carrots, celery, potatoes, or parsnips. You can also add a handful of chopped greens, such as kale or spinach.
- Choose a flavorful broth: The broth you use will make a big difference in the flavor of the soup. Use a broth that has a lot of flavor, such as chicken broth, beef broth, or vegetable broth.
- Season the soup to taste: Once the soup is finished cooking, taste it and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or herbs.
