Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large kohlrabi (yields 6–8 cups chopped)
- 1 head garlic
- 1/4 tsp. olive oil
- 1/3 cup heavy whipping cream (or nondairy alternative)
- 3/4 tsp. kosher salt (split)
- 1/2 tsp. pepper
Instructions
- Peel and chop the kohlrabi into roughly 1-inch cubes.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the top off the head of garlic and drizzle with olive oil. Wrap it in aluminum foil and roast for about 30-35 minutes.
- Add the chopped kohlrabi to a large pot and cover with water, adding 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer for about 15-20 minutes or until fork-tender.
- Drain the kohlrabi and return it to the pot. Squeeze out the roasted garlic cloves, add the cream, remaining salt, and pepper.
- Stir everything together until it reaches your desired consistency.
