Roasting Vegetables
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and chop all vegetables into 1-inch pieces. Toss chopped vegetables with olive oil, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet, then roast for 25-30 minutes until tender and caramelized.
Making the Soup
- Transfer roasted vegetables to a large pot, adding vegetable broth, fresh thyme, and a bay leaf. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce heat and cook for 10-15 minutes, allowing flavors to meld.
Finishing Touches
- Remove the bay leaf and purée the soup using an immersion blender until smooth, or carefully transfer to a regular blender. If desired, stir in crème fraîche for extra creaminess.
Notes
For a richer flavor, you can roast additional vegetables like sweet potatoes or parsnips. Adjust seasoning to taste and serve with crusty bread or a dollop of sour cream.
