I don't think there is anything easier than a roasted vegetable soup. Seriously. Most of the cooking time is just waiting for the oven to do its thing, and then it's just a matter of going from there. And it definitely hits the spot on those cold winter days when you need something warm and delicious.
This recipe is one of the easiest and tastiest I've made in a very long time. It has a very minimal ingredient list, and literally takes minutes of active cooking time to put together. Plus, it delivers a serious punch of flavor that is not soon forgotten.
