For an elegant garnish, consider thinly sliced and caramelized peach wedges. If coconut milk is unavailable, heavy cream can be substituted for a richer flavor. For a vegan version, ensure your vegetable broth is plant-based.
Indulge in the sun-kissed sweetness of Okanagan peaches with this velvety soup, a delightful dance of savory and sweet. Whether served chilled on a summer's day or warmed to chase away the autumn chill, this soup captures the essence of orchard-fresh flavor.
Preheat oven to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C). Roast garlic cloves on a baking sheet until golden and fragrant, about 30 minutes.
Warm olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Gently sauté diced onion and chopped peaches until softened, approximately 10 minutes. Stir in curry powder, turmeric, and roasted garlic; cook until caramelized, stirring frequently, about 30 minutes.
Deglaze the pan with Chardonnay wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Add vegetable stock, bring to a simmer, and cook for 15 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
Remove from heat. Using an immersion blender or a regular blender (working in batches), puree the soup until smooth. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve for an exceptionally velvety texture.
Stir in coconut milk. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Reheat gently if serving warm.
