Creating Roasted Veggie Soup is a straightforward process. Follow these simple steps to make this amazing dish:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Prepare Vegetables: Chop the carrots, zucchini, red bell pepper, and onion into even-sized pieces for uniform roasting.
3. Toss with Oil and Seasoning: In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced vegetables, minced garlic, olive oil, thyme, oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss well to coat.
4. Spread on Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned vegetables in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
5. Roast the Vegetables: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes or until the vegetables are tender and caramelized.
6. Blend Soup: Once roasted, transfer the vegetables to a large pot. Add the vegetable broth and bring to a simmer.
7. Incorporate Coconut Milk (Optional): If desired, add coconut milk for added creaminess and flavor. Stir to combine.
8. Blend Until Smooth: Use an immersion blender or a stand blender to blend the soup until smooth. If too thick, add more broth to reach your desired consistency.
9. Taste and Adjust Seasoning: Taste the soup and adjust salt and pepper as needed.

Following these steps will ensure that your Roasted Veggie Soup is both delicious and satisfying, ready to delight anyone who tries it!
