Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups chopped eggplant
- 1 medium zucchini, about 2 cups when chopped
- 3 small sized bell peppers, I used red, green and yellow
- 1 small red onion, diced
- 3–4 cloves garlic, peeled
- 2–3 sprigs fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 tablespoons olive oil, or oil of choice
- 1 (14.5 oz) can diced fire roasted tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 small squeeze fresh lemon juice, or apple cider vinegar
- 1 1/2 – 2 cups vegetable broth, or water
Instructions
- Heat oven to 450 degrees F. Roughly chop all vegetables into bite sized pieces and add them to a large baking sheet. Add on the garlic cloves, fresh thyme, salt, pepper and olive oil.
- Use your hands to mix everything together until vegetables are fully coated with oil and seasonings. Place sheet pan in the oven and roast vegetables until softened and lightly browned, 30-35 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Allow vegetables to cool for a few minutes and then add to a blender, or food processor. Next, add in one can of fire roasted tomatoes, including the liquid.
- Turn the blender on low speed and slowly add in your vegetable broth, or water, while turning the blender up to high speed. You will need to add between 1-2 cups of veggie broth, or water, (depending on how thick you like your soup) to make sure the soup is blend-able. Next, add in the lemon juice and fresh parsley and blend again, for about 30 seconds.
- Pour the soup into a soup pot and heat over medium heat until soup is completely hot. Add in any extra veggie broth, salt or pepper needed. Once soup is heated up, you can enjoy immediately or allow to simmer for up to 30 minutes.
