Tomato Zucchini Bisque

I love a good veggie soup.  I meant to get a picture of all the roasted veggies, they looked so pretty! 

They tasted great as a soup and I loved how low calorie it was!  Tasty and guilt free! 

Tomato Zucchini Bisque

3 zucchini (large, chopped into 1/2 in. chunks or sliced
2 onions, cut into 1/8ths
2 carrots, sliced
3 stalks of celery
1 bulb of garlic, top sliced off to expose cloves
2 peppers, quartered, I used red peppers
1/2 pint of cherry tomatoes (or more, I just used what I had left)
2 cans diced tomatoes
1 quart of chicken broth (I think I added a bit more at the end as it was too thick)
1/2 cup white wine
1/2 half and half
1/2 cup basil, a large handful
salt and pepper

Simmer diced tomatoes, carrots and celery in broth.  Spray the other veggies with cooking spray and sprinkle with salt and pepper, bake at 375 for 30 - 45 minutes or until tender and slightly caramelized on the bottom, stir occasionally. 

Combine vegetables and broth, add wine and basil.  Return to a boil over medium heat while stirring, reduce to a simmer and simmer for a couple of minutes.  Remove from heat and puree with immersion blender or food processor.  Add whipping cream.  Reheat to warm cream but do not boil.  Add chicken broth if it is too thick.  Taste and add salt and pepper as desired.
