Slice off the top of the head of garlic and discard, leaving the garlic cloves exposed. Place cut-side up on a large sheet of parchment paper. Drizzle with ½ tablespoon of the olive oil and season with the salt and pepper. Fold the parchment paper around the garlic head to seal and place on a sheet pan seam-side down. Transfer to the oven and roast for 45-50 minutes.
In a large pot, heat the remaining olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and saute for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their juices and begin to brown.
Add the vinegar and tamari, scraping up any browned bits with a wooden spoon. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the liquid is reduced by about half.
Add the chicken broth and coconut milk. Season to taste with the salt and pepper. Stir to combine, then bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes.
Once roasted, remove the garlic from the oven and squeeze the cloves from the paper casing into a food processor. Discard the paper casing. Add about ¾ of the soup to the food processor with the garlic. Blend until smooth, then transfer back to the pot with the remaining soup.
