This is a solid way to use up whatever vegetables are sitting in your fridge – you roast everything together and blend it into soup. The roasting gives it way more flavor than just boiling vegetables in broth.
Preheat oven to 400F and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
Quarter tomatoes and remove cores, quarter bell peppers and remove seeds, quarter zucchini and trim ends, quarter sweet potatoes.
Rough chop onion and leave shallot and garlic cloves whole.
Place all vegetables skin side up on the sheet pan.
Drizzle with olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper.
Roast in center of oven for 25-30 minutes until vegetables are soft and browning at edges, with sweet potato piercing easily with a fork.
Let vegetables rest for a few minutes.
Working in batches, blend roasted vegetables in a blender on low speed, working up to high until smooth.
Heat a large saucepan or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Pour in blended vegetable mixture and add about 1 tsp each of onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, cayenne, basil, sage, and thyme, seasoning to taste.
Stir in heavy cream and heat through until gently bubbling, about 5-6 minutes.
Notes
Keep a lid handy to prevent splashing while heating.
