Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 4 cups vegetable broth
• 2 cups heavy cream
• 1 cup fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 cup fresh chives, chopped
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup cold butter, cubed
• 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 3/4 cup milk

How to Make Creamy Herb Soup with Savory Biscuits

1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
2. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
3. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring it to a simmer. Cook for 10 minutes.
4. Stir in the heavy cream, chopped parsley, chopped chives, and dried thyme. Season with salt and pepper. Simmer for another 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
5. While the soup simmers, preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
6. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
7. Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, then pour in the milk and stir until just combined.
8. Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
9. Bake the biscuits for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
10. Serve the creamy herb soup hot, garnished with additional fresh herbs, alongside the cheesy biscuits.

Tips for the Best Results

• Use fresh herbs for the best flavor; dried herbs can be used in a pinch but will alter the taste slightly.
• Ensure your ingredients, especially the butter, are cold to achieve flaky biscuits.
• Don’t overmix the biscuit dough; a few lumps are fine for a tender texture.

Easy Variations

• Swap out the herbs for your favorites—basil or dill can add a unique twist.
• For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the soup.
• Incorporate cooked chicken or vegetables into the soup for added substance.

What to Serve With It

• A fresh garden salad drizzled with vinaigrette.
• Sliced avocado or guacamole on the side.
• A glass of crisp white wine or sparkling water.

Store any leftover soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The biscuits are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored for up to 2 days. Reheat the soup on the stovetop over low heat, stirring occasionally, and warm the biscuits in the oven to revive their crispness.
