Instructions
Preheat oven. Chop up the vegetables, spread them out on a baking tray evenly and sprinkle with some olive oil. Roasting gives the vegetables a different taste in the soup than simply just cooking them. Roast them for about 25-30 minutes on 180 Celsius.
Add them directly to your soup cooker with all the other ingredients and cook for 25 minutes.
Alternatively, add the onions to a large pan and fry them until they start to get a golden colour. Then add the roasted veggies, the stock and the spices and cook for about 35-40 minutes. When it's done, blend it until it's smooth. Serve it immediately with crusty bread.
