• Cut the tops off the garlic heads just to expose the bulbs and remove any excess papery skins. Place in a large sheet of aluminum foil and drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon each of the salt and pepper. Close the foil around them, leaving a space between the tops and the foil, and place on a baking sheet in the oven. Roast until soft and fragrant, about 1 hour 15 minutes. Remove, cool, and squeeze out the garlic into a bowl.
• In a large, heavy soup pot (preferably enameled cast iron) over medium-high heat, melt the butter, add the roasted garlic, and cook for 5 minutes. Add in the flour and cook until a dark golden roux is achieved, an additional 5 to 6 minutes, stirring frequently. Add 1 cup chicken stock, incorporate, and repeat until all the chicken stock had been added. Repeat with the water. Add the Italian seasoning, remaining salt and pepper, and stir to combine well. Bring to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes. Add in the cream, if using, cook for 10 minutes more at a very low simmer, stirring occasionally. Adjust the seasoning, if needed, and serve garnished with a sprinkle of the parsley and a fresh drizzle of the extra virgin olive oil. Serve with Asiago Crostini.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• In a small bowl, combine the oil, garlic, and spices and mix well. Place the bread slices on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
• With a basting brush, coat each piece with the oil-spice mixture. Sprinkle each slice with about 1 teaspoon of the shredded cheese.

Cover the baking dish tightly with foil and bake for about 45 or until garlic is soft and golden brown. Remove from oven and allow to cool enough to handle the garlic. Squeeze each garlic clove to release the garlic and place in a small bowl.
• Heat a heavy bottom large saucepan over medium-high heat and melt 2 tablespoons butter. Saute the onions and thyme and cook until the onions are soft and translucent, about 6 minutes. Add the roasted garlic, 18 cloves of raw garlic and cook for an additional 3 minutes. Add chicken stock and cover and simmer for about 20 minutes or until the garlic is tender. Use an immersion blener to puree the soup until smooth or transfer in batches to a blender. Return the soup to the saucepan and add the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Season with additional salt and pepper if needed.
• Divide the grated Parmesan cheese equally into 4 bowls and ladle in soup. Squeeze lemon juice into each bowl and serve. Garnish with fresh thyme or chopped chives.
