- Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Slice off the tops of whole heads of garlic, drizzle with olive oil, wrap in foil, and roast for 60 to 90 minutes until golden brown.
- Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Sauté finely diced onion for 5 to 7 minutes until softened.
- Add chopped fresh garlic to the pan and sauté for an additional minute until aromatic.
- Pour in chicken or vegetable broth, scrape caramelized bits from the bottom, stir in white beans and fresh rosemary, bring to a boil, then simmer for 5 minutes.
- Squeeze roasted garlic cloves into the soup mixture, and blend until smooth with an immersion blender.
- Return soup to low heat, stir in grated Parmesan and lemon juice, season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Ladle soup into bowls and serve immediately, garnishing with extra Parmesan or fresh rosemary if desired.
