Jamie's Roasted Sweet Garlic Soup is a hearty and flavorful soup that is perfect for a chilly autumn day. Roasting the garlic and almonds gives the soup a rich, nutty flavor that is balanced out by the sweetness of the green grapes. This soup is vegetarian and can easily be made vegan by substituting chicken stock with water. It is also gluten-free and contains no dairy or soy. The soup is easy to make and can be ready in under an hour. Serve it hot with a slice of crusty bread on the side.
