Notes

  • The baking duration may vary depending upon various factors like the capacity of the oven, type of oven used, quality of ingredients, and climate of the place where cooking is done. So, keep an eye on the vegetables after 35 minutes and bake until they get roasted and slightly charred too.
  • Feel free to use the dried herbs of your choice.
  • If you use fresh herbs and blend them with vegetables, the color of this soup will get spoiled so avoid using them if you want to give the soup a beautiful red color. Fresh herbs can be used for garnishing.
  • To add some heat to the soup, add red chili flakes or red chili peppers while blending the vegetables.
