Method
- Before cooking, measure these ingredients: 6 garlic cloves and 1 onion. Set out the remaining ingredients, cookware and utensils so everything is ready.
- Peel the garlic and potatoes. Dice the potatoes and thinly slice the garlic.
- Gently warm garlic and onion in half the oil, add potato and stock. Simmer for 18 minutes and blend.
- Dice the bread and toast in a pan with the remaining oil. Scatter over the soup with thyme.
- Before serving, check: Fold wet and dry ingredients together only until combined. Overmixing can make cakes or muffins dense.
Beginner-friendly tips
Read these three practical tips before cooking. Check how the food looks and feels, not just the clock.
- Preheat the oven before mixing and prepare the tin first so the batter does not sit waiting.
- Fold wet and dry ingredients together only until combined. Overmixing can make cakes or muffins dense.
- Baking times vary: a skewer inserted into the centre should come out without wet batter. Bake a few more minutes if needed and cool before slicing.
