AIP Friendly Roasted Garlic Broccoli Soup
This velvety, deeply savory soup is the kind of bowl that makes you forget you're eating something genuinely nourishing — it's rich, warming, and satisfying in a way that feels indulgent rather than restrictive. A whole head of garlic gets slow-roasted until the cloves turn golden and jammy, then blended right into the base alongside a full pound of broccoli, bone broth, and creamy full-fat coconut milk. Fresh ginger and turmeric add gentle heat and an earthy depth that makes every spoonful feel intentional. Following the autoimmune protocol means cutting out a long list of ingredients that show up in most creamy soups — dairy, nightshades, legumes — and this recipe sidesteps all of them without any awkward substitutions, just clean whole-food ingredients that actually work together beautifully. The coconut milk gives it that silky, restaurant-quality texture, and a squeeze of fresh lemon at the end brightens everything up. It makes four servings, so it's practical for meal prep or a cozy weeknight dinner with leftovers to look forward to.

Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C). Place the garlic head cut-side up on a small piece of foil, drizzle with 1 tsp olive oil, and wrap tightly. Set on a baking sheet and roast for 40–45 minutes, until the cloves are deeply golden, very soft, and fragrant. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes, then squeeze the cloves out of their skins into a small bowl and set aside.

While the garlic roasts, heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat until shimmering. Add the onion and celery and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, about 6–8 minutes.
