MY PRO TIP!
If I have bacon on hand, I will use it to add extra flavor to the veggies I am roasting. Just dice your veggies and add them to a tin foiled lined roasting pan. Place the roasting rack on top of that and lay bacon slices on top. Roast your veggies and bacon at 300 for about 25 minutes. Low and slow! Then add the crumbled bacon to the top of your soup.
