Instructions

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.

Stir in the roasted tomatoes and red peppers, then cook for another 2-3 minutes.

Add the coconut milk, honey, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes to meld the flavors.

Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth, or transfer to a blender in batches.

Season with lemon juice and adjust salt and pepper to taste.

Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs or a drizzle of cream if desired.
