Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss 1 cup diced eggplant and 1 cup diced sweet potatoes with 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 25 minutes until tender and golden at edges.
  2. Step 2: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add 1 diced onion and cook for 5 minutes until softened and translucent.
  3. Step 3: Stir in 3 minced garlic cloves and 1 tsp ground ginger, sautéing for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Step 4: Whisk 1/4 cup miso paste into 4 cups vegetable broth and 1/2 cup water until fully dissolved, then pour into the pot.
  5. Step 5: Add roasted eggplant and sweet potatoes to the pot, bring to a gentle simmer, and cook for 10 minutes to meld flavors.
  6. Step 6: Use an immersion blender to puree soup until smooth (or transfer to a blender in batches), then stir in 2 tbsp chopped cilantro and adjust salt to taste.
