Heat a splash of oil in a soup pot over medium heat. Add onion and cook for 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for another 5 minutes.
Add all remaining ingredients to the pot except for the cottage cheese. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10-20 minutes. The longer you cook the more flavor there will be.
Add soup and cottage cheese to a blender and blend until smooth.
