# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Roasting vegetables creates a deeper, more complex flavor profile than boiling alone.
  • The recipe is naturally vegetarian, gluten-free, and dairy-free.
  • It is an easy, one-pan roasting method followed by a simple blend.
02 -
  • Use a high-quality vegetable broth as it provides the liquid base for all the flavors.
  • Don't peel the zucchini; the skin adds nutrients and a beautiful depth to the soup's color.
  • Always check the allergen labels on store-bought broth and croutons.
