Preparation
- Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat, then add chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
- Add diced eggplant, zucchini, and bell peppers to the pot, cooking until they begin to soften, approximately 8-10 minutes.
Simmering
- Pour in the crushed tomatoes and vegetable broth, then stir in the Herbes de Provence, salt, and pepper.
- Bring the soup to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 25-30 minutes, or until all vegetables are tender.
Finishing
- Remove from heat and stir in the fresh basil; for a smoother soup, you can blend a portion or all of it using an immersion blender.
- Taste and adjust seasonings as needed, then serve hot and enjoy this delicious Ratatouille Soup.
Notes
For a richer flavor, roast the vegetables before simmering. Serve with a crusty baguette.
