Directions

Preheat oven to 400°F. Place first 9 ingredients on rimmed sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper and toss to coat. Spread in a single layer and roast until garlic cloves are soft and golden and vegetables are tender with browned spots, about 45 minutes.

When vegetables are done, discard herb sprigs. Transfer about 1/2 c of the roasted garlic cloves to a small bowl and set aside for the garlic cream topping. Scrape remaining garlic and roasted vegetables into a large saucepan and add bone broth.

Puree the soup directly in the pan with an immersion blender. (Alternatively, puree soup in batches in a stand blender and return to pan.) Bring to a simmer over low heat.

Meanwhile, prepare garlic cream by mashing roasted garlic gloves with fork until smooth. Stir in lemon zest, ½ c crème fraiche and season with salt; set aside.

To finish soup, stir in remaining ½ c crème fraiche, lemon juice and reserved 2 tsp chopped thyme. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve with a dollop of garlic cream and reserved fennel fronds.
