"Inspired originally by a soup served at Cafe Mimosa in San Clemente. Original post here. Notes: Plan ahead: the vegetables roast for three hours. Once they are done, however, the soup comes together in no time.Feel free to use whatever vegetables you have on hand — a few leeks, celery, peppers, etc. would all make nice additions. Serves 4 to 6 as a first course..."
