Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it’s hot enough for roasting the vegetables evenly and developing rich flavors.
Toss Vegetables: In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped carrots, bell peppers, zucchini, and onion with olive oil, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Toss well to coat all pieces evenly with the seasoning and oil.
Roast Vegetables: Spread the seasoned vegetables evenly on a baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through to ensure all sides become golden brown and tender.
Simmer Soup: In a large pot, bring the vegetable broth to a gentle simmer. Add the roasted vegetables and let them simmer together for 5-10 minutes to meld the flavors.
Blend Soup: Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth. Alternatively, blend partially or not at all if you prefer a chunkier texture. Taste the soup and adjust salt and pepper as needed.
Serve and Garnish: Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve hot for a comforting and flavorful meal.
