Eggplant Soup with Garlic Velvety Roasted Eggplant and Garlic Soup Ingredients: 2 medium eggplants 1 large head of garlic 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 onion, chopped 1 celery stalk, chopped 1 carrot, chopped 4 cups vegetable broth 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika 1/2 teaspoon cumin 1/4 cup heavy cream (optional) Salt and pepper to taste Fresh parsley, for garnish Croutons or crusty bread, for serving Directions: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Prick eggplants with a fork and place on a baking sheet along with the unpeeled head of garlic. Roast for 35–40 minutes, until the eggplants are collapsed and garlic is tender. Let cool slightly. Peel the eggplants and squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of their skins. Set both aside. In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté onion, celery, and carrot until soft, about 7 minutes. Add roasted eggplant, garlic, smoked paprika, cumin, and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer for 15 minutes. Use an immersion blender to puree until smooth (or blend in batches in a countertop blender). Stir in heavy cream (if using), and season with salt and pepper. Serve hot, garnished with parsley and accompanied by croutons or crusty bread.
