  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, peeled
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 4 cups vegetable broth (or chicken broth)
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste

  • 1 to 4 tablespoons heavy cream or coconut milk (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a sheet pan with parchment for easy cleanup.
