The ingredients for Roasted Garlic-Potato Soup are:

5 whole garlic heads
2 turkey bacon slices, diced
1 cup diced onion
1 cup diced carrot
2 garlic cloves, minced
6 cups diced baking potato (about 2 pounds)
4 cups low-salt chicken broth
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 bay leaf
1 cup skim milk
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

Here is how you make Roasted Garlic-Potato Soup:

Remove white papery skin from each garlic head (do not peel or separate cloves). Wrap each head separately in aluminum foil. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour; let cool for 10 minutes. Separate cloves, and squeeze to extract 1/4 cup of garlic pulp; discard the skins. Cook bacon in a large saucepan over medium-high heat until crisp. Add onion, carrot, and minced garlic, and saute 5 minutes. Add potato, broth, salt, pepper, and bay leaf; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 20 minutes or until potato is tender; remove bay leaf. Combine garlic pulp and 2 cups potato mixture in a blender or food processor, and process until smooth. Return puree to pan; stir in milk, and cook over low heat until thoroughly heated. Remove from heat, and stir in chopped parsley.Yield: 5 servings 4 WW pts per servingNumber of Servings: 5Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user JOSIGIRL.
