This velvety soup gets its deep, roasted-tomato flavor from a slow simmer with garlic, smoked paprika, and a touch of tomato paste, all built into a base of softened onions and good olive oil. Full-fat coconut milk is stirred in at the end, giving the soup a rich, silky body without ever needing dairy cream. Blended until completely smooth, it lands somewhere between a classic tomato soup and a cozy bisque, with a gentle warmth from red pepper flakes if you want it. A scatter of torn fresh basil on top adds brightness and color right before serving. It's a comforting, vegetable-forward bowl that fits easily into a vegetarian kitchen, whether you're pairing it with a grilled cheese or eating it straight from the pot.

Add the garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Watch closely so the garlic does not brown.
