Spread the vegetables over 1–2 large roasting trays, leaving enough space for them to roast. 2️⃣ Toss with olive oil, paprika and oregano. Tuck the garlic beneath the veg. Roast for about 1 hour, turning halfway, until tender and golden. Check towards the end to avoid burning. 3️⃣ Tip the veg and tray juices into a large saucepan. Add broth, salt and pepper. Blend with a stick blender until smooth, adding more broth until you reach your preferred consistency. 4️⃣ Bring to a gentle simmer, lower the heat and stir in 250ml cream. Warm gently for 2–3 mins, then taste and adjust the seasoning. 5️⃣ Serve with a swirl of the remaining cream and freshly ground black pepper.
