    • 1 head garlic
    • 1 teaspoon olive oil
    • 🧂 Salt to taste
    • 1/2 cup butter, softened

  • Soup Base

    • 2 tablespoons olive oil
    • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
    • 🧅 3 large sweet onions, chopped
    • 1 celeriac (celery root), chopped
    • 2 cups beef broth
    • 🍷 1 cup dry red wine
    • 2 cups vegetable broth
    • 1 head garlic cloves, chopped
    • 2 teaspoons paprika
    • 2 tablespoons dried parsley
    • Cajun seasoning to taste
    • 🧂 Salt and pepper to taste

  • Topping

    • 1 loaf French bread, toasted and sliced
    • 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese

STEPS

1

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Slice the top off the whole head of garlic, sprinkle with 1 teaspoon olive oil, and season with salt. Wrap loosely in foil, and bake for 45 minutes until the cloves are very soft. Squeeze the cloves into a small bowl and mix with 1/2 cup softened butter.

2

Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil and 2 tablespoons butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onions and celery root, saute until the onions are lightly browned. Reduce heat to medium-low and add the beef broth, wine, vegetable broth, garlic, paprika, parsley, Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper. Simmer, stirring occasionally, for 1 hour.

3

Preheat the oven broiler. Spread toasted bread slices with garlic butter. Ladle the soup into oven-safe bowls, top each with a slice of toasted bread, and sprinkle with shredded Swiss cheese.

4

Broil the bowls for 5 minutes in the oven until the cheese melts. Let cool for 2 minutes before serving warm along with remaining garlic bread slices.

💡 Use sweet onions for better caramelization and flavor.For a vegetarian version, skip beef broth and use 4 cups of vegetable broth instead.Roast the garlic in advance to save time during preparation.If you prefer stronger cheese flavor, use Gruyere cheese instead of Swiss.
