Instructions

To roast the garlic, place the halved head of garlic on a piece of foil and drizzle with a little olive oil and season with salt. Wrap in the foil and place in the oven (180°c) and allow to roast for 45 minutes - 1 hour until the garlic is soft. Squeeze out of the skins and set aside.
To make the soup, fry the onion in a splash of olive oil until soft and translucent.
Add the celeriac and potato and saute for 10 minutes.
Add the roasted garlic and bouquet garni and pour in the stock.
Allow the soup to simmer gently for 30-45 minutes until the vegetables are soft.
Puree the soup and add a little more stock if the soup is too thick.
Add the cream and season to taste.
To make the parsley oil, combine the parsley and oil in a small food processor then blend until the parsley is very finely chopped.
Pass the mixture through a sieve and discard the parsley.
Serve the soup with a swirl of the parsley oil.
