Add the potatoes, apple, wine, bouillon, and just enough water to cover; approximately 4 to 6 cups.
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat. Cover and simmer gently for 20 to 25 minutes or until the potatoes are completely tender and starting to fall apart.
Squeeze the roasted garlic pulp from the cloves right into the soup and discard the skins.
Mash the potatoes in the pot with a potato masher until the base is thick and chunky. or use one of our favorites, a Smart Stick Hand Blender
