Preparation
Preheat oven to 400 °F (200 °C). In a 4-cup (1 L) baking dish, melt 2 tbsp (30 mL) butter; add garlic and toss. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until garlic is tender and golden brown; stirring halfway. Toss 12 cloves with honey; set aside for garnish.
In a large pot, over medium heat, melt remaining butter. Add onion; reduce heat to medium-low and cover and cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes. Uncover and cook, stirring often for 5 minutes. Add potatoes, thyme, bay leaf and remaining roasted cloves; sauté 3 minutes over medium heat. Stir in broth and 1 cup (250 mL) cream. Bring to boil over high heat; reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally for 30 minutes or until potatoes are very tender.
Remove from heat; let stand 10 minutes, to cool. Remove thyme and bay leaf.
In a blender, in batches, puree until smooth; return to pot. Stir in remaining cream (1 cup / 250 mL) and bring to a simmer. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Ladle soup into bowls and garnish with reserved honey roasted garlic.
