Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 teaspoons Smoked paprika
• 2 medium Red bell peppers
• 2 medium Zucchini
• 2 cups Cherry tomatoes
• 1 medium Yellow onion
• 2 medium Carrot
• 4 cups Vegetable broth
• 1 can (15 oz) Cannellini beans (drained and rinsed)
• 2 sprigs Fresh thyme
• 1 whole Bay leaf
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 4 large rolls Crusty bread rolls (optional, for serving as bowls)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Dice the red bell peppers, zucchini, onion, and carrots into bite-sized pieces and place them on a large baking sheet. Add the cherry tomatoes.

Step 3

Drizzle the vegetables with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.

Step 4

Roast the vegetables in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until they are tender and slightly caramelized.

Step 5

In a large pot, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the roasted vegetables, vegetable broth, cannellini beans, thyme sprigs, bay leaf, and the remaining 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika.

Step 6

Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Remove the thyme sprigs and bay leaf before serving.

Step 7

If serving in bread bowls, cut off the tops of the crusty rolls and hollow out the centers. Ladle the soup into the bread bowls or serve in traditional bowls instead.

Step 8

Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately. Enjoy!
