For a richer flavor, use homemade beef and vegetable broth. If you don't have celeriac, you can substitute parsnips or turnips. For a more intense garlic flavor, add a few cloves of minced garlic to the onions as they sauté. A splash of balsamic vinegar at the end of cooking can add a pleasant tang. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). (Time: 5 minutes)
02
StepSlice the top off the whole head of garlic, drizzle with 1 teaspoon olive oil, and season with salt. Wrap loosely in foil, and bake for 45 minutes, or until the cloves are incredibly soft. (Time: 45 minutes)
03
StepSqueeze the roasted garlic cloves into a small bowl, and mix with the 1/2 cup softened butter until fully incorporated. Set aside. (Time: 5 minutes)
04
StepHeat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. (Time: 2 minutes)
05
StepMelt 2 tablespoons butter into the oil, swirling to combine. Add the chopped onions and celeriac, and sauté until the onions are softened and lightly browned, about 10-15 minutes. Stir frequently to prevent burning. (Time: 15 minutes)
06
StepReduce heat to medium-low, and stir in the beef broth, red wine, and vegetable broth. Add the chopped garlic, paprika, parsley, Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper. (Time: 5 minutes)
07
StepBring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer gently, stirring occasionally, for 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and deepen. (Time: 60 minutes)
08
StepPreheat the oven broiler. (Time: 5 minutes)
09
StepSpread the toasted bread slices generously with the roasted garlic butter. (Time: 5 minutes)
10
StepLadle the soup into oven-safe bowls, and place the bowls on a baking sheet. (Time: 5 minutes)
11
StepTop each bowl with a garlic-buttered toast slice, and sprinkle generously with shredded Swiss cheese. (Time: 5 minutes)
12
StepBroil the soup for 3-5 minutes, or until the Swiss cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly browned. Watch carefully to prevent burning. (Time: 5 minutes)
13
StepLet cool for about 2 minutes before serving warm, garnished with additional garlic bread if desired.
