Add garlic and cook 30 seconds, add potatoes (or other veg), broth, salt, and pepper and stir. Add rosemary and bay leaf. Increase heat to high to bring to a boil, then reduce to simmer 20 min. Pull out bay leaf, then add lemon juice. Transfer to a blender in batches, or use an immersion blender to blend.
