1-First, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and wash and chop all vegetables into uniform pieces for even roasting. This step ensures everything cooks at the same rate and maximizes that caramelized goodness. Once prepped, you’re ready to move on to flavoring.

2-Next, toss the mixed vegetables, onion, and garlic with olive oil, salt, pepper, and dried thyme, then spread them evenly on a baking sheet. Roasting for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway, lets them get tender and develop those irresistible smoky notes. Remember, the key is in the even coating of oil and spices.

3-After roasting, transfer the veggies to a large pot and add vegetable broth, bringing it to a simmer. Use an immersion blender to puree until smooth, adjusting seasonings as needed for your taste. Finally, serve it hot with a sprinkle of fresh herbs for that extra burst of flavor.
