- 10-12 cloves of garlic, peeled
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh herbs (such as basil, thyme, or oregano)
- 1 cup coconut milk (plus extra for swirls)
Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Vegetables:
- In a large bowl, combine the halved tomatoes, quartered Vidalia onion, and peeled garlic cloves.

3. Roast the Vegetables:
- Spread the vegetable mixture on a baking sheet in a single layer.

4. Blend the Soup:
- Remove the roasted vegetables from the oven and let them cool slightly.
