  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash the zucchini and cauliflower, cut them into rough pieces, spread them on a baking sheet, and drizzle with olive oil. Roast for 10–20 minutes, until the bottoms turn golden.
  • While the vegetables roast, prep the rest of the ingredients:
    • peel the onion, dice it, and sauté in olive oil until translucent;
    • peel the garlic, chop it with a knife, add it to the onion, and cook for 1 minute;
    • transfer the vegetables to a small pot, pour in the broth, and bring to a boil;
    • lower the heat to medium, add the roasted cauliflower and zucchini, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 10–15 minutes;
    • take the pot off the heat and blend the purée until smooth with an immersion blender (or transfer everything to a countertop blender).
  • Spoon the purée into bowls, drizzle with olive oil and a dollop of sour cream, and don't forget to garnish with fresh thyme.
  • Enjoy!
