Ingredients

Vegetables

  • Carrots, bell peppers, zucchini, and onions (mixed vegetables), cut into uniform pieces – about 4 cups total
  • Garlic cloves – 3 to 4, peeled

Seasonings & Fats

  • Olive oil – 2 to 3 tablespoons
  • Salt – 1 teaspoon, or to taste
  • Black pepper – ½ teaspoon, or to taste
  • Fresh herbs (rosemary, thyme, or parsley) – 1 to 2 teaspoons, chopped

Liquids

  • Vegetable broth – 4 cups
  • Lemon juice or vinegar – 1 tablespoon, to finish
  • Optional cream or coconut milk – ½ cup, for added creaminess

Instructions

  1. Prepare and Roast the Vegetables: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Cut your chosen vegetables into uniform pieces for even roasting. Toss them with olive oil, salt, pepper, and fresh herbs. Spread the vegetables on a baking sheet in a single layer and roast for 30-40 minutes, stirring halfway through, until they are tender and caramelized.
  2. Blend the Roasted Vegetables: Transfer the roasted vegetables to a large pot. Add the vegetable broth, then use an immersion blender or a regular blender in batches to puree the soup until smooth. Adjust the consistency as desired by adding more broth if needed.
  3. Season and Simmer: Bring the soup to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Add additional seasonings, lemon juice or vinegar, and if desired, cream or coconut milk to enrich the texture. Let the soup cook for another 5-10 minutes to allow flavors to meld perfectly.
  4. Serve and Enjoy: Ladle the warm soup into bowls. Garnish with your choice of toppings such as fresh herbs, a swirl of pesto, toasted pumpkin seeds, or a dollop of Greek yogurt or sour cream. Serve immediately and enjoy the comforting meal.

Notes

  • Use fresh, seasonal vegetables to ensure the best flavors and vibrant colors.
  • Roasting the vegetables is key to unlocking their deep, caramelized sweetness and smoky notes.
  • If using a regular blender, blend in small batches to avoid spills and achieve a smooth texture.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning gradually to find the perfect balance of salt, acidity, and herbs.
  • For a creamy texture without dairy, blend in cooked potatoes or soaked cashews.
