Roasting and blending Vegetables are a healthy way to enjoy great flavors. Eggplant, Zucchini, Bell Pepper, Onion, Garlic and Italian Peppers roasted bring a wonderful flavor that can only be called comfort. This is a dish that goes great as the main course or as the beginning of a wonderful supper. Any time of year, this soup just feels like home
Sodium seems to be a real problem with vegetable soups in general, as most recipes and restaurants put enough salt to float a boat. All kidding aside, starting out at 700mg of sodium is just not heart friendly. Taste and flavor are not spelled S.A.L.T. By using my roasting technique you will enjoy a soup with only 153mg’s of sodium and a flavor that promises to satisfy…
