Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Cut the tops off the garlic heads to expose the cloves and remove any excess papery skins.

Step 2

Place on a large sheet of foil; drizzle with 1 tbsp EVOO and sprinkle with 1/2 tsp each of salt & pepper.

Step 3

Close the foil around the garlic; leaving a space between the tops and the foil and place on a baking sheet.

Step 4

Roast until soft & fragrant, about 1 hr, 15 min.

Step 5

Remove from foil, let cool & squeeze garlic into bowl.

Step 6

In a large, heavy pot (pref. Cast iron) over med-high heat, melt butter. Add the roasted garlic & cook, stirring until slightly thick (about 5 min.). Add the flour and cook until a dark, golden roux forms, stirring frequently, 5-6 min.

Step 7

Add 1 c. Chicken stock and stir to incorporate, then repeat until all of the stock has been added. Add 2 c. Water in 1 c. Increments, stirring after each. Add Italian seasoning, 1.5 tsp salt and 1 tsp of pepper and stir. Bring to a simmer and cook 15 min. Add cream and cook at a low simmer for 10 min., stirring occasionally.
