Ingredients

Vegetables

  • Assorted vegetables (carrots, bell peppers, zucchini, onions) – chopped into uniform pieces
  • Garlic cloves – 3 to 4, peeled

Cooking Essentials

  • Olive oil – 2 to 3 tablespoons
  • Vegetable broth – 4 to 5 cups, warmed

Herbs and Spices

  • Fresh rosemary – 1 teaspoon, chopped (or dried)
  • Fresh thyme – 1 teaspoon, chopped (or dried)
  • Salt – to taste
  • Black pepper – to taste

Optional Ingredients

  • Cream or coconut milk – 1/2 cup for a creamy finish

Instructions

  1. Prepare and roast the vegetables: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Chop the assorted vegetables and garlic into uniform pieces to ensure even cooking. Toss them well with olive oil, salt, pepper, rosemary, and thyme. Spread the vegetables in a single layer on a baking sheet, making sure not to overcrowd them. Roast for 25-30 minutes, turning once halfway through, until they are golden brown and tender.
  2. Blend the roasted vegetables: Transfer the roasted vegetables into a blender or food processor. Gradually add warmed vegetable broth a little at a time while blending until smooth. For a chunkier texture, pulse the blender less to leave some vegetable pieces intact.
  3. Warm and season the soup: Pour the blended soup into a large pot and gently heat over medium heat. Taste and adjust seasonings by adding more salt, pepper, or fresh herbs as needed. If desired, stir in cream or coconut milk now to achieve a silky, creamy texture.
  4. Serve and enjoy: Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with fresh herbs, a drizzle of olive oil, or your favorite toppings, and savor the comforting warmth of this homemade roasted vegetable soup.

Notes

  • Cut vegetables into similar sizes to ensure even roasting and caramelization.
  • Spread vegetables in a single layer on the baking sheet to avoid steaming and promote browning.
  • Use a high-quality low-sodium vegetable broth for the best flavor.
  • Add broth gradually during blending to control soup consistency.
  • Toast herbs lightly before adding to enhance aroma and flavor.
