Method
Roasting the vegetables
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and chop your assorted vegetables into uniform pieces.
- Toss the chopped vegetables with olive oil, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet, then roast for 30-35 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
Making the Soup
- In a large pot, sauté minced garlic for 1 minute, then add vegetable broth, fresh thyme, and a bay leaf.
- Simmer for 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld, then remove the bay leaf.
Blending and Serving
- Add the roasted vegetables to the soup base, reserving a small amount for garnish.
- Blend the soup until smooth using an immersion blender or a regular blender, adjusting consistency with more broth if needed.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste, then ladle into bowls and garnish with reserved roasted vegetables and fresh herbs for serving.
Notes
For an extra creamy soup, add a splash of coconut milk or heavy cream before blending. You can also experiment with different herbs like rosemary or dried oregano for varied flavor profiles.
