👩🍳 How to Make It
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and spread halved tomatoes, diced sweet potatoes, and sliced peppers on a baking sheet; drizzle with olive oil and roast 25‑30 minutes until caramelized.
- In a large pot, sauté a chopped onion and minced garlic in a splash of oil until fragrant.
- Add the roasted vegetables to the pot, pour in vegetable broth, and bring to a simmer for 10 minutes.
- Blend the soup until smooth, season with salt and pepper, and stir in a dash of smoked paprika for extra depth.
- Serve hot, garnish with fresh basil or a drizzle of cashew cream, and enjoy the cozy, plant‑based flavors.
🍽️ Serving Suggestions
- Swirl a spoonful of cashew cream and sprinkle fresh basil leaves for a restaurant‑style garnish, then serve with a crusty slice of artisan sourdough for dipping.
- Pair the soup with a crisp mixed greens salad tossed in a lemon‑tahini dressing for a light, balanced meal.
- Turn leftovers into a cozy brunch by ladling the soup over toasted baguette rounds and topping with avocado slices and a pinch of smoked paprika.
💡 Chef's Tips & Variations
- Add a splash of coconut milk or oat cream while blending for extra silkiness and a subtle tropical twist.
- Swap the smoked paprika for a pinch of curry powder or harissa paste to give the soup an adventurous, global flavor profile.
- For a protein boost, stir in a handful of cooked lentils or a spoonful of chickpea flour‑based “croutons” just before serving.
- Roast the vegetables with a sprinkle of dried thyme or rosemary for an aromatic, herb‑infused depth that’s perfect for fall gatherings.
