Ingredients You’ll Need (Serves 4)

• 6 Roma tomatoes, halved

• 4 carrots, peeled and halved

• 1 red bell pepper, cut into quarters

• 1 white onion, halved

• 2 garlic bulbs, tops cut off for roasting

• 1 yellow zucchini, sliced

• 1 green zucchini, sliced

• 2 tbsp olive oil

• Salt and black pepper, to taste

• 2 tsp dried basil

• 1 tsp Italian seasoning

• 1 tsp dried oregano

• 2 ½ cups boiling water

• 1 cup coconut milk (plus extra for drizzling)

• Handful of fresh basil, for garnish

• Vegetable broth

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prep for roasting: Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Wash and prep all the veggies: halve the tomatoes, carrots, and onion; quarter the red bell pepper; and slice the zucchinis. Place the veggies on the lined baking sheet. Wrap the garlic bulbs in foil with a pinch of salt and a drizzle of olive oil, and place them on the sheet.

2. Season and roast: Drizzle 2 tbsp olive oil over the veggies, then sprinkle with dried basil, Italian seasoning, oregano, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly. Roast in the oven for 40–45 minutes, checking and flipping the veggies halfway through, until tender and slightly caramelized.

3. Blend the soup: Once the veggies are roasted, let them cool slightly. Transfer them to a blender or food processor. Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of their skins into the blender. Add 2 ½ cups boiling water (or vegetable broth) and a pinch of salt and pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy. Add the coconut milk and blend again. For a thinner soup, add more water or broth as needed.

4. Serve or reheat: Pour the soup into bowls. If it’s not hot enough, transfer to a large pot and bring to a gentle boil over medium heat. Ladle into bowls, drizzle with extra coconut milk, sprinkle with black pepper, and garnish with fresh basil leaves. Serve with toasted bread for dipping and enjoy!

Tips for the Perfect Soup

• Roasting tip: Spread the veggies evenly on the baking sheet to ensure they roast, not steam. Check halfway to avoid overcooking.

• Adjust consistency: Blend in more water or broth for a thinner soup, or keep it thick for a heartier texture.

• Flavor boost: Swap boiling water for vegetable broth for an extra layer of savory flavor.

• Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4–5 days. Reheat gently on the stove with a splash of water or broth. This soup freezes well for up to a month.

• Serving ideas: Pair with crusty bread, vegan garlic bread, or a side salad for a complete meal.
