Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
Slice the eggplant about ¼-inch thick and lay them out on a lined cookie sheet sprayed with cooking spray. Sprinkle with salt.
3-4 small eggplant
Roast the eggplant for about 20 minutes. You can pop the peppers in at this time, too.
Prepare the tomatoes the same way and roast them for 20 minutes as well.
While the veggies are roasting, start the soup base by heating 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a stock pot. Sauté the onion and carrots with a little salt.
1 tablespoon olive oil, 2 carrots
Once the onion starts to caramelize and darken, add the stock and spices. Simmer.
4 cups 32 ounces chicken stock (use veggie for vegetarian), 1 teaspoon turmeric, 1 teaspoon ground coriander, 1 teaspoon curry powder, 2 medium yellow onions
After 20 minutes, the eggplant will have shrunk down a fair amount. The tomatoes, too.
2 medium-large tomatoes
Cut the whole roasted peppers.
2 small peppers
Add all the roasted vegetables to the simmering stock. Raise the heat and bring to a boil. Then lower heat to a simmer and puree.
I added a cup of water to get the consistency I wanted as it reduced a bit during cooking.
1 cup water
Simmer until you're ready to serve.
I added a little cilantro for garnish but then the next day I had an epiphany.
Cilantro for garnish, Feta cheese for topping
