Roasted Eggplant Soup: Healthy Is Easy!

Did you know eggplant is technically a fruit! It is nutrient dense containing an abundance of vitamins and minerals and it is high in fiber which can help lower blood sugar!
Another wonderful benefit is that it is high in antioxidant content. Antioxidants protect our cells from damage caused by free radicals. This is greatly beneficial to heart health and may be helpful in fighting cancer.

This took me about 45 minutes to make. While the veggies were roasting, I was able to get other things done. Now I have lunch for the next two days!

Recipe ingredients:
Chopped eggplant
Diced onions
3-4 cloves of garlic
Chopped bell peppers
Chopped marzano tomatoes
Olive oil
Seasonings: sea salt, pepper, onion salt, garlic powder, 21 season salute (Trader Joe’s).
Half a lemon
Better than bouillon

Directions:
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Placed chopped veggies in a baking dish, drizzle with a good amount of olive oil, squeeze half a fresh lemon juice, add seasonings, mix together.
Roast for 35 minutes.

Throw roasted veggies, enough water to go half way above veggies and a teaspoon full of better than bouillon into mix and blend until smooth.

Enjoy!
