Notes

  • Roasting the vegetables enhances the sweetness and depth of flavor.Coconut milk works well as a dairy-free alternative to cream.Add a pinch of smoked paprika for a subtle smoky flavor.If the soup becomes too thick, stir in a little extra broth to reach the desired consistency.This soup tastes even better the next day as the flavors develop.
