Wow, what a wonderful and different soup! I added a bit of potato and zucchini to the recipe, and processed only about 3/4 of it in blender, to maintain texture. I omitted the cream, but added a hearty splash of white wine to simmer until dinner was ready. My fiancee said, "wow, this kinda reminds me of french onion... except, ya know, it's different!" hehehe! THIS WAS INCREDIBLE!!! Thank you for such a yummy new soup! [ps- this goes fantastically with the aloo paratha (indian potato-stuffed flatbreads) that i also posted.]

This soup was excellent and in my keeper file now. Rich flavours....don't forget the goats cheese..it rounds its out. I also used feta with the leftovers instead of the goat cheesse and equaly as good. Very satisfying. Catherine

Just one more WOW review! If you haven't tried this soup, you don't know what your're missing. It it just GREAT and easier than it sounds. I made it per instructions only added some oregano and substituted grated fresh parmesan for the goat cheese. Served it to friends (4 total) and finished the batch. Also had Artisan garlic/parmensan warmed bread, Pinot Gris wine and those great Chocolate Chip Pudding Cookies with French Vanilla ice cream. Our guests went away with the recipes and big satisfying grins on their faces. I love to please my guests .....thanks Dave! This will be made again in this household and probably many more!

This is a very delicious soup! I added zucchini and red peppers as well to my roasted vegetables and pureed only part of the soup which left the soup thick and chunky. I started with a fresh homemade chicken stock and added some freshly grated parmeson cheese right before serving. Thank you for the excellent recipe!

This soup is fabulous. It was so nice and creamy and the flavor was just perfect. Instead of adding all cream, I added 1/2 cup red wine and 1/2 cup cream. I didn't have goat cheese, so I added Feta, which we thought really added a wonderful touch. Thanks for a great recipe.

Wonderful flavors and easily made. I roasted the eggplant and other veggies over the BBQ while cooking some meat which added a hint of a smokey quality to the soup. I also lightened it up slightly by subbing half and half for the cream.

Amazingly, I had every single item on hand to make this soup tonight while I was eating dinner. The only modifications I made or had to make was that I had no whipping cream so I sub'd whole evaporated milk. Being a garlic lover, I sprinkled the veggies with garlic flavored oil instead of vegetable oil. EXCELLENT!! Next time I think I will simply not use the dairy at all as this dish is savory enough to stand on it's own without it. Now I can't wait for dinner tommorow night, and I'll be enjoying as much of this soup as I can possibly eat. Also, I did not peel the skin from the eggplant as I like the texture and nutrition. No blender or food processor used either. I wanted it chunky, so I just coarsly chopped the veggies. A great soup that I'll be eating all winter.

A 10 star recipe! The combination of vegetables, with eggplant as the star, was complimented so well with the thyme. I just had to add the creme which I thought made it more velvety in texture. I used feta cheese and freshly ground black pepper on top. This should've been on the "Soup Natzie's" list!!!!!! Thank you so much Dave, for sharing this recipe!

I just made a batch of this soup to freeze for later. I couldn't help tasting a good amount, though, and it is AMAZING! Like s'kat, I left out the cream but added some white wine. I thought the taste of the roasted vegetables in combination was perfect. I will serve this for company in the future--really good! thank you!!
