Roasted Vegetable and Herb Soup
Warm up with a hot bowl of our delicious roasted vegetable and herb soup. It’s just the thing to have cooking on the stove during the cold days of winter.
The secret to making this hearty soup is all about getting maximum flavor from the veggies, which is easy to achieve by roasting. Take leeks, onions, tomatoes, carrots and garlic, and chop them into large pieces. Then place your veggies on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil, tossing until they are coated evenly.
Season with a little salt and pepper and pop them in the oven to roast for about 15 minutes. You don’t want them to soften too much or they will fall apart in your soup. When the veggies are done, add them to vegetable broth in a dutch oven, on medium high heat. Stir in dried basil and sage, reduce the heat and simmer for around 20 minutes.
This soup hits the spot, especially on cold winter days. It also makes a great main course and is a satisfying meal for meat-free friends and family.
Serve this soup recipe in a fancy homemade bread bowl!
