ROASTED EGGPLANT AND BELL PEPPER SOUP
Adapted from: "Vegetable Soups from Deborah Madison's Kitchen". "This soup can be served hot, tepid, or chilled-- its flavors perhaps optimal at room temperature. It won't win any beauty contests--eggplant makes everything a bit dull looking--but leaving some texture in the soup helps, along with the swirl of yogurt and a perfect sprig or two of cilantro. In any case, the flavors will win kudos, and that's what counts."

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- Toss eggplant, peppers, onion, tomatoes, garlic, herbs, oil and salt together.
- Place in a large baking dish. Roast until browned and fragrant, about 1 hour, turning 2-3 times while they're roasting.
- Transfer roasted vegetables to a soup pot.
- Add 1 cup water to the dish they baked in, scrape up the caramelized juices, and add to pot along with cumin and ginger.
- Pour in another 6 cups water, the cilantro, and 1/2 tsp salt.
- Bring to a boil, then lower heat and simmer, covered, until the vegetables are fully tender, 20 minutes or so.
- Let cool slightly, then puree, leaving a little texture. I would use an immersion blender here.
- Stir in the lime juice and pour into serving bowl.
- Swirl in the yogurt.
- Serve garnished with sprigs of cilantro.
