TOMATOES:
- Tomatoes are the main taste in the soup. Their sweetness gets better after roasting. Use canned whole tomatoes if you are not adding fresh tomatoes.

GARLIC:
Garlic provides an aromatic taste that pairs well with roasted vegetables. It gets mildly sweet after roasting. You may use garlic powder instead of fresh garlic.
OLIVE OIL:
- It roasts the vegetables evenly and gives a delicious caramelized taste. You may use avocado oil as a substitute.
VEGETABLE BROTH:
