Grateful Garlic Bisque & Turkey Gobbler with Chilina Kennedy
I know Garlic Bisque sounds crazy, but I promise it is the perfect appetizer or soup course for your Thanksgiving meal. Not only is it delicious but you can make 1-2 days ahead of time. In fact, you SHOULD make it ahead of time because the flavors will have time intensify. And may we suggest prepping your Thanksgiving dinner with a cocktail. We like the Turkey Gobbler. A little bourbon to help ease the stress of prepping your dinner, some maple syrup in gratitude for the sweetness of life and some Hellfire bitters for all that political talk around the table. Happy Thanksgiving!!

INGREDIENTS
Preparation
Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves into a small bowl and set aside. Reserve the empty heads.
Place the chicken stock and reserved empty garlic heads in a medium pot and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 1 hour. Strain the stock into a clean pot and discard the solids. Set aside.
Return the stock pot to the stove and heat the oil and melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring, until slightly caramelized, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 45 seconds. Add the stock and roasted garlic cloves and stir well to combine. Add 3 cups of the croutons, the salt, pepper, and cream and bring to a low boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.
With an immersion blender, or in batches in a food processor, puree the soup until smooth. Add the cheese and stir to incorporate.
