Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 4 cups chicken or vegetable stock
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup freshly grated horseradish
• 1.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped (optional, for garnish)
• 4 slices crusty bread (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

In a large pot, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

Step 4

Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the onion and garlic mixture, stirring constantly to form a roux. Cook for 2–3 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.

Step 5

Gradually pour in the chicken or vegetable stock, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 6

Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream. Allow the soup to cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 7

Add the freshly grated horseradish to the soup, stirring well to combine. Simmer for another 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 8

Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper, adjusting to taste.

Step 9

Using an immersion blender (or carefully transferring the soup to a blender in batches), blend the soup until smooth and creamy.

Step 10

Ladle the horseradish soup into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired.

Step 11

Serve hot with slices of crusty bread for dipping, if preferred.
