This soup is inspired by the classic peasant soups found throughout Europe and other parts of the world. These soups typically consist of simple, hearty ingredients that can be grown or found locally. Happy Peasant Soup is a vegan take on this classic dish, using only plant-based ingredients to create a warm and satisfying meal. The caramelized onions add a depth of flavor, while the roasted garlic adds warmth and richness to the soup. The end result is a delicious, nutrient-packed soup that is sure to please.

Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 400°F. Cut the top off the garlic heads and wrap them in aluminum foil. Roast the garlic in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the cloves are soft.
2.	Heat a large soup pot on medium heat. Add in the sliced potatoes and enough veggie stock to cover them. Cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
3.	Using a fork, remove the soft garlic cloves from their skin and add them to the soup pot. Add in the caramelized onions and the remaining veggie stock. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 5-10 minutes.
4.	Remove the soup from the heat and use an immersion blender to blend it until completely smooth.
5.	Season with celtic sea salt and freshly ground pepper to taste. Serve with chopped parsley as a garnish.
